Okay, there are some points to clarify here: Yes, the fact that Rollback XP only allows up to 10 snapshots can be seen as a limitation, but then remember that it is a freeware. Other solutions being offered by Microsoft would cost you like $200 per computer to protect them…. “It is still necessary for a good, clean image backup, since Rollback RX or Rollback XP would be useless in a hard drive failure”. True, however, the guys at Horizon are coming out with a new version of Drive Cloner RX. This is a cloning software that will enable you to take an image of your system (snapshots included), and export your snapshots in case you get a physical failure on your hard drive. “Remember, do a Defrag before installing Rollback RX or Rollback XP ... you really can't do that anymore once you install Rollback, so I have read ... “ Not true. You can defrag after installing Rollback, but it is not really recommended. It is important to point out that the software itself comes with its own defragmenter, which would then render the other useless. You can read more about defragmentation from the guys at Horizon Datasys themselves: http://support.horizondatasys.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/25/0/can-i-defrag-my-drives-after-installing-rollback-rx
