Essential PCI Card - Hard Disk Drive Restorer Card that Restores harddrive data by simply restarting the PC!!! Restores Your Computer Hard Disk Drive Data and Windows Operating System Software Save Troubles of Virus Attacks, Users Deleted System Files, No boot, Blue Screens Errors! and Reduced PCs Maintenance Costs so it copys the harddrive or hoe els is it meant to restore the os diagnostic card finds faults i have had one of them but thats different to what this is this claimes to me that it backs up system files (os) it says that.

It doesn't say how it does it, it says what it does. Of course it doesn't back up the entire hard drive surface. I suspect it reserves a portion of the hard drive and mirrors selected I/Os there while retaining them briefly in an on-board eeprom to protect against power failure but I'm only guessing.

You are someone I trust to give out good info, especially when security or reliability is concerned. I'm not the OP here, but I'll ask anyways. Are these valid claims in all those google links? I mean volume of ads doesn't mean realiabilty. If that were the case then we would all eat poo poo because 100 billion flies couldn't be wrong could they? EDIT: So what are you saying? |

I tried your link pete21 but I don't see anything tell me who the manufacturer is . I would like to first know who made it and then look them up to see what they have to say about it. Otherwise I would say it is someone trying to make some money.

As far as I can see this card just manages your HD so in effect you have a recovery partiton on your current HD, so yes, you can restore your machine on a whim.

But if your HD crashed your buggered, which defeats the point really IMO. Not a scam per-say, but a pointless tool to most users, a gimmick. Correct me if I'm wrong, haven't looked into it much. My System: Hybr!d

Yep it looks like an electronic "UNDO" button, that restores the HDD to where it was prior to the last boot.

Could be useful, if you know that something is FUBAR, but as Dave says, not much good if the HDD itself develops a fault. The only reliable way to mke a full back up of your HDD is by using imaging software, such as Acronis True image. My System: Home Build
