Goback 3.0

[Steevo]

I have read in many reviews for Goback 3.0 that it permits installation onto
several hard drives on one computer. I have tried many times to reinstall
Goback in the hope it will allow me to protect the extra hard drive I have
installed although at no time during the custom install does it prompt me
for protection of the second drive. Could anyone confirm that Goback 3.0 is
able to protect multiple drives in Win XP, or suggest any ways that I might
be able to fix this problem?


Many thanks

I have 4 hard drives in my main computer. When I was experimenting with
GoBack 3.0, all of my drives were protected.

In my experience GoBack will protect all drives it sees and has no option to
disable protection for specific drives like XP's System Restore has.

Maybe it already is protecting your extra drive. Change a file there and
then, using GoBack, click on Recover Files and see if the file you changed
on your extra drive is listed there. Click on the date column so that the
most recent file changes are listed at the top.

When installing each time it produces a "summary of drives protected by
Goback" which only shows the one drive, my main C: and it will not protect
the NTFS F:.
Thinking about it now and what t.cruise said, it is compressed using the
"compress drive to save disk space" feature available on NTFS drives. Could
this be causing the problem?

Many thanks
