Hi All,

We are glad to let you know we just released a new beta product: Toolwiz Time Machine.
You can download it from this link:http://download.toolwiz.com/Setup_TimeMachine.exe

With this product, you can create no more than 24 snapshot of your system partition in few seconds and restore your system to any snapshot mode within few minutes.

The product is still in beta and we strongly recommend you only try it in your testing PC. If you want to try it in your system, please backup the important data before use it.

Toolwiz Time Machine uses the "Copy on Write" tech to backup your system on the fly and its smart engine will only backup the "Useful" data. So one snapshot only takes some MB data.

Thanks for our volunteers from china offers the tech support and suggestion. Thanks for the help from Mr. Dabi on testing the beta product.

Toolwiz Time Machine is a freeware for any user. You can use it in any PC no matter for home or for business. It is free for all of you.

2013-02-24 Change
------------------------------------------------------------------
Added Toolwiz Time Freeze to Toolwiz Time Machine, now you can use Time Freeze feature in Toolwiz Time Machine.

Toolwiz Team.

Hi Kissol,

We just fixed this issue. We added a limition for x64 system as we did not test it well in x64.

Please try to download the beta from same link again.

Thanks.

It is possible to use in the same computer Toolwiz Time Machine Beta and Toolwiz Time Freeze?. Thank you very much.

hi xunguedo,

It is not a good idea to use TTF and TTM in same PC. As they have same engine.

@ Toolwiz Admin, thanks for fixed issue. It is working well in Win 7 x64 OS.

- It changes MBR. Can be used a way to choose a snapshot when booting (if there are a failure in OS)?
- Like with TTF it is not adviced to defrag system disk between snapshots?
- Can VSS to be desactivated when doing a snapshot?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Kissol,

Thanks for your great questions. We want to make a "light" Time Machine which is same as the TTF. To keep them as simple as they are and We do not have the plan to make a restore CD or Image for boot failure rescue.

If we add a option to choose snapshot, we need to Hook the MBR and boot loader, this will make the product has less compatibility.

Reg the defrag, Yes, TTF and TTM both has a engine to stop defrag in the background. You can do the defrag as before, but it will not take effect at all.

VSS also is stopped by our engine in the background. As VSS will bypass our backup engine to access the disk in the lower level.

BTW, we just released a new one which fixed the issue when install it in Win8.

Have a good day :)

Hello, can I use it in a standard user account?

@ Toolwiz Admin, thanks for the clarifications!

I agree with your purpose: "to make a "light" Time Machine". Exactly like with TTF.

I read TTF and TTM about: "It is not a good idea to use TTF and TTM in same PC". In fact I understand the caution needs in that combo; some conflits can arise with that.

Since I use TTF in 'Frozen Mode' almost all time and will like to use TTM sometimes (e.g. to try app. that need to reboot), I have a question that is not suitable maybe:
1- When in 'Frozen Mode' I did a snapshot with TTM; after reboot that snapshot was in TTM GUI list; so TTM bypassed TTF engine (maybe because, like you said above, they use a similar engine).
2- I noticed that when installed TTM, the GUI had the info like: 'Snapshot Engine is not working"; after doing the first snapshot I have always the info that it is working - and I can not delete the last snapshot.

My question is: it is (or will be) suitable to disable TTM (without uninstalling it), and with that to allow e.g. TTF to work without to fear conflits and/or others issues like BSOD's? Be sure I understand your point; I only want to see if it is suitable without to prejudice TTF or TTM performance.

Thanks again!

hi Kissol,

That is because the current TTF and TTM share same engine and we will fix this issue and then you can use them at same time.
