Is there any product that will essentually do what Norton GoBack does? I want something that will return my PC to what it was 1, 2, 3 or five days earlier. I am not looking for a full scale backup program. Any help would be appreciated.

While i've never used Deep Freeze, my impression of this software was that it's strength was for protecting/keeping a computer in it's current state as a simple reboot removes all changes made in a session. It doesn't seem too flexible for making changes. And i'm not sure works for testing new software that requires a reboot. Have you used it?.

If you want to use xp system restore. Use system snapshot, you can set this to set a restore point at startup. http://www.angelfire.com/wizard2/hk...

you may also use Acronis True Image. It supports GoBack and is quite a good data backup tool by itself. It's also very user-friendly and may be easily used by not a computer expert.

To answer you question, the only product that I find that is better than Goback is Rollback Rx. It can take more checkpoints while using less space.

Also from reading thier forum - http://www.horizondatasys.com/forums/ it looks like it currently supports Vista32 and will have support for Vista64 at the end of the month.
