![]() I’ve been using it for years as well as recommending it to customers and it works quite well, even in the free version you can browse inside images and restore single files/folders as well as entire images, it allows incremental images to keep image sizes down, you can lock an image so you can have a “fresh install with all my programs” image for refreshing Windows and it doesn’t get simpler to use than Paragon. The nice thing about Paragon is it can set up an encrypted backup capsule which will store disk images (you can also have offline images as well which is what I recommend and do myself) which you can just push a key combo at boot and even if your PC is so messed up it cannot boot into the OS it will let you boot into the Paragon management tool and restore the PC easy peasy. ![]() They have a free version if all you want to do is have disk images or if you need a full suite including disk partitioning and HDD management you can buy the full suite. Unfortunately not many products are great at removing themselves though and they leave residuals and sometimes need to be removed the more risky way. At one point I had 3 different versions of Visual Studio (yes I could have installed appropriate SDKs but that takes more time to get right), Android SDKs/NDKs,QT4.8/5.3,Netbeans 8.1, Eclipse, etc installed at the same time. ![]() I don’t go to download sites and am very meticulous in what I install. Third, again disk images are good but when you have a deadline that you have to meet and that means installing some software that you would rather not under other circumstances, you just usually bite the bullet and deal with the consequences after.įourth, who said anything about crap? I install software I need at the time. But I would be much more cautious with someone else’s computer. ![]() I don’t mind, for myself, taking that risk. I would not suggest them to everyone, but to a trained technician they are of great benefit. Second, I agree that registry cleaners are terrible as they pose a lot of risk. Understand that I have used Linux primarily from 2002 and on, so being adept in Windows management is something I only do when I need to (I despise Windows). I’m sorry but registry cleaners can seriously screw a PC up, most do not understand symlinks for just one example and if you had actually been a competent end user frankly a registry cleaner would never have been needed because you wouldn’t have had programs crap all over your PC in the first place, see rules 1-3.įirst of all, Revo is a pretty good utility and I can’t disagree with that. If you were an actual educated computer end user? Then you would know 1.- Don’t install crap on your PC, 2.- If for ANY reason you have to install crap on your PC you use an install trace program like Revo to make a log of every change to your system so that on uninstall ALL of the changes are reversed, and 3.- You should have multiple disk images both on and offline so if any serious issue happened you could restore your PC in under 30 minutes with a single click. You DO know you sound like someone who sells shoes saying they are qualified to do foot surgery? Because if you are using registry cleaners to “fix muh box” you are frankly as bad an end user as those grandmas that click on everything whose PCs I have to fix! So when you attack someone you should really do your research.Īnd, when your company asks you to install software for business purposes (like Office or say a PDF reader, or different software to test validity of certs, or Wireshark, or Bash for Windows so you can use Windows while in a meeting where you must present MYSQL queries/bash commands to prove the validity of your programs and your presentation software does not work well with your remote desktop nor do you have time to setup something better cause you are too busy designing real software) and then you no longer need it, you get rid of it! Because if you don’t, your company issued computer is slow and does not work as efficient as you need it to while you are compiling/interpreting QT4.8/QT5/NodeJS/PERL applications. I have designed full fledged applications by myself for multiple organisations (including gov’t orgs to help children) and have also been a lead developer for Syllable once. So let me tell you about myself, you minuscule little man.
