Hi David

RollBack needs to be configured.  If you didn't configure it not to make 
automatic clones, of course it will grab your disk space.  RollBack, when 
properly configured, is the best PC data retrieval utility in the known 
universe.  It has saved me countless hours of work.  Of course, you wouldn't 
use is on a VM, that would be utter insanity.  It isn't designed for that 
purpose.

I do not use Rollback though as it tried to grab
all my disk space when I tried it.

Subject: Jaws Installer, absolutely pathetic!

Hi all

OK, I wonder if anybody else has had these issues with the Jaws installer.

First off, when you run the installer, it creates a lot of system restore
points, regardless of whether you want them or not.  In my case, I do not
use the Microsoft System Restore utility as I have a better way of doing it.
I use RollBack from Data Horizon Systems.

Anyway, back to the point.  When I see these restore points created, Jaws
then does a force restart of the system.  At this point, you'd expect the
installer to resume upon restart.  No such luck!  It just goes back to the
Windows desktop.  So, I re-ran the installer.  This tie, it came up with a
temporary copy of Jaws running in demo mode, despite the presence of a Jaws
dongle authorised for the latest version.

The system just sat there doing absolutely nothing with Jaws until,
eventually, I got a warning that the programme was about to close and that
I'd have to reboot to use Jaws again.

Rebooting took me back to the desktop and Jaws wasn't installed at all.  A
third re-run of the installer yielded the exact same results.  So I opted to
roll back my system and start over.  Same thing happened second time of
asking.

So basically, I haven't been able to install Jaws at all, and I'm distinctly
unimpressed by their pathetic attempts to create an installer.  Maybe next
time they should try asking people if they want their system totally changed
just to suit Jaws.  It was fortunate that I had RollBack to save me all the
work of a re-install of Windows.
