Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Restore your computer to its last healthy state with this quick application, though you're stuck to that single system snapshot. BackOnTrack's neat and straightforward interface has quick-click options for all features.
This program dispenses with many user prompts to improve speed. During installation, BackOnTrack automatically takes a snapshot of your system. During our tests, snapshot and restore operations were fast and effective. The Document Archive makes it extremely easy to view and modify files created before the restoration process. Password-protecting the utility is simple and effectively blocks unauthorized users.
However, we wish BackOnTrack would allow more than one snapshot restore point. The demo's preinstallation documentation isn't in English. The demo doesn't give you the option to install the program where you choose. Nonetheless, Windows XP users looking for a fast and effective system-restoration tool should give this demo a test drive.

Version: BackOnTrack 2.7.18
Pros: It's a jiff to use, takes a quick snapshot of your computer and restores it to the snapshot whenever your computer crashes. It allows you to restore during boot process (No disks required). It's embedded on your hard-drive. All you have to do is press F7 to restore your computer back to the last restore point you made with it.
This program saved me over 3 hours of having to reinstall windows. I almost forgot I had it, but I restarted my computer and hit F7 (after I remembered that I'd downloaded the trial version over 3 months ago) and viola! Started right up with no problem. From that small show of how simple, yet how complex the program is, I must recommend BackOnTrack
Cons: The only real think I don't like about BackOnTrack (And I'ts not a very big deal either) is that you can't create more than one image at a time. So, in other words it basically erves to restore your default system. Be sure you install it at a point when your PC is in good "health."

Pros: n/a (couldn't get it working)
Cons: I purchase the product about a week ago, and after 10 calls to Roxio support and sales, and trying 2 serial number, I coulnd't install the product. I will ask for a refund. Their support is HORRIBLE.
