1. What is EAZ-FIX?
  EAZ-FIX is a PC time machine. It allows user to instantly undo PC problems by reverting the PC back to last hour, yesterday, last week or last month. EAZ-FIX works even if Windows O.S. fails to start up.
2. How does EAZ-FIX work?
 

The core of EAZ-FIX is a PC snapshot technology. A snapshot is WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get. You can recover files from snapshots and rollback system to snapshots.

3. What is a snapshot?
 

Practically speaking, snapshot is a "picture" of the PC at a given time. A snapshot contains 100% of system, programs, settings and user data. Technically speaking, a snapshot is a map of the hard drive sectors and the map's indexing system based on very complicated algorithms.

4. Is snapshot a backup image of the drives?
  No, snapshot is not a backup. (EAZ-FIX does offer a drive backup feature but that's not what the snapshot is.)
5. How long does EAZ-FIX take to create a snapshot or restore to a snapshot?
  Seconds. Another evidence snapshots are not backups.
6. How much disk space does EAZ-FIX need for taking a snapshot?
  Very little.  A snapshot is only a table recording all the data on the hard drive at the time of the snapshot, not actual backup of files on the hard drive.
 
7. Can I schedule EAZ-FIX to take automatic snapshots?
  Yes, you can create schedule tasks to take automatic snapshots hourly, daily, weekly, every time the PC boot up, 1st boot up of the day or before a program is running.
 
8. Will I be able to use EAZ-FIX if Windows fails to boot up?
  Yes, EAZ-FIX has a subsystem console which works pre Windows OS. You can take snapshots and restore system from subsystem console. To access subsystem console, press HOME key when you see the EAZ-FIX splash screen during boot up.
 
9. What kind of problems can EAZ-FIX fix?
  Any kind of PC software problems. As long as it's a software problem and as long as you have a good snapshot, you can always get back to it.
 
10. I don't have EAZ-FIX installed, I am having problems with my PC. Can I use EAZ-FIX to recover my PC?
  No, EAZ-FIX is a pro-activate protection solution. Not a reactive recovery solution.
 
11. How is EAZ-FIX different from Windows System Restore
  Windows System Restore only provides rollback for the Windows's system file and registry. EAZ-FIX provides rollback for the entire drive including Windows OS, third party applications, system settings, Windows registry and data.  Windows System Restore only works in Windows OS, it's not a help if Windows fails.  EAZ-FIX still works even if Windows OS fails to start-up.

  Windows 2000, Windows XP Home/Professional, Windows Vista.
