Any of you guys using this amazing application, I've just discovered there's an update available. (Returnil doesn't auto-update).

Version 1.7.0.7502.

Came out on the 8th October.

New in 1.70:

- System Protection Scheduler – Fully automated and customizable scheduler for the System Protection feature.
- Installation Wizard upgrade – The installation now allows the user to configure more options during install.
- RVS Toolbar visual upgrade – The RVS toolbar will change colors as an additional visual aide to the user for current System Protection status.
- RVS Toolbar feature upgrade – The RVS Toolbar now includes the same right click options menu as the Tray Icon.
- Program Access Password – Access Password Manager now included in optional program settings rather than the Main Status Screen.
- RAID 0 – Now compatible with RAID 0 arrays.
- SATA/IDE combinations – Solution added to address issues when using SATA and IDE drives in combination.
- Preference protection – Solution added to harden RVS against damage to user preferences.
- RVS Tray Icon recovery – RVS now able to recover its Tray Icon if Explorer crashes.
- HotKey upgrade – The hotkey feature now accepts "none" as a valid hotkey selection.
- User's Manual – Manual updated for 1.70
- Display update – Actual Hard Disk and partition designations shown in Main GUI and Toolbar to aide in troubleshooting (EX: [HarddiskVolumeX]).


As long as Returnil is completely closed down, the new version can be installed over the old.

Yes, an excellent application. :)

Heard a whisper that the developer is working on a new feature in a future edition, "commit now", which will save to the real system on the fly.

And also looking at protection for all partitions?

Thanks for the link, Dennis and the info, Humpty. Great application. :)

edit: OK, just installed it along with Sandboxie3.2. Both running now, very compatible.
The SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-)
