COMODO Time Machine

COMODO Time Machine

Comodo Time Machine (CTM) is a powerful system rollback utility that allows users to quickly restore their computers to an earlier point in time. More feature rich than Microsoft’s built in “System Restore” application, CTM ‘snapshots’ are a complete record of your entire system (including the registry, critical operating system files and user created documents).

As part of a layered security strategy, users can schedule automatic snapshots to be taken at regular intervals then roll back to the last known working state in the event of virus attacks or crashes. It is also a recommended practice to take snapshots of your computer before large installations or system maintenance like installing a Windows service pack, security updates or new drivers.

Software Developers and testers can easily restore test systems to the default configuration after each deployment without the need to manually uninstall each application.

Home users can even let the kids run amok on the family PC for an afternoon and be safe in the knowledge that any damage can be instantly undone and all files recovered.

Comodo Time Machine features an intuitive, user friendly interface which offers quick and easy access to all functionality in the application. Additionally, it also features a sub-console that can be accessed before Windows starts and a Quick Operation console containing shortcuts to important and commonly executed tasks.

Key Features and Benefits:
• Easy to use – even beginners can quickly create system snapshots with a few mouse clicks
• Provides instant and comprehensive system recovery after virus or spyware infections
• Instantly reclaim your machine after devastating system crashes
• Rollback the changes to ALL your documents – not just changes to system files and the registry
• Boot-up console allows you to rollback even when your system will not boot to Windows
• Test new software and network configurations in the knowledge that you can quickly switch back if problems develop
• Completely remove unwanted software installations without the need to uninstall or clean the registry
• Flexible restore options allow you to mount and browse snapshots to recover individual files or folders
• Right click on any file or folder to synchronize it with a snapshot version
• Schedule regular system snapshots to ensure highly relevant restore points
• Network administrators have another way to quickly fix user or software problems
• Libraries, Internet cafes and other publicly shared networks can schedule a total system restore at the end of each session

Why not rely on Windows System Restore?
Many of the virus attacks found on the Internet today are also written to infect the Windows System Restore Points so even if you can restore to an earlier point in time, that restore is most likely infected as well. Most of the leading antivirus vendors recommend turning off Windows System Restore during their “virus removal process” first, which automatically deletes all of your previous restore points rendering the Windows restoration process useless.

I do want to make one thing clear: Comodo Time Machine will NOT protect you if your hard drive crashes. It’s not that type of program. Programs that make “images” of your computer, and store them on another hard drive, can protect you if your drive crashes. Symantec Ghost, Acronis True Image and Comodo Backup are examples of this type of disk imaging program.
