hi
I am using ZAR 8.3 to recover a corrupt 40 gig NTFS drive which is now a slave drive to my 20 gig NTFS system drive. I ran the evaluation ZAR and it worked wonderfully and took suprisingly few system resources, the drive scan revealed a lot of bad sectors but i already knew it would. When i got to the file list, i did a "full save" to save the current state so i didn't have to rescan again. i marked the 4 folders and copied them to my 20 gig system drive and then burned those to CDROM. I then purchased a key and after entering the key and serial number , closed and restarted ZAR as i had read in the forum. When ZAR opened, I loded my saved.zar file and it gave me an error and said disk configuration had changed and began using 90% of the system rescouces. I did not panic but, this was very unlike the original scan's use of the system, after a time, the file list appeared, and all was ok. BUT, the looading of the saved.zar file took about 2x as long as the original scan and a lot more stress on the system. My Question is: I need to copy about 700 MB of data at a time, burn it to CD, delete it and then repeat with the next 700MB until i have a complete copy of all the data on the 40 GIG. Is the BACK button available AFTER i copy files? Or do i need to reload the saved.zar file each time? If so, Will re-saving.zar now produce a better load if i need to re-load each time? or is it best to use the same .zar save each time? I am not sure of the program logic and if saving a save.zar will work or not. I have not done the file copy as of yet because i'm not sure what is the best way to go in this situation. I know the BACK button was not availiable in the trial mode, but i wonder if it is after the program is registered.? Also, when i did my save.zar, the file type validation had already been completed. Thanks for your help and Thanks for a great program. I hope i will never need it again, but it's nice to know that if I ever become lazy about backing up my data again , and my drive fails, i can count on ZAR to be there. |

Well,
I got impatient and went ahead did my file copy and YES! the BACK button is active and was able to go back to the file list again. Thanks so much for a real quality program and well written code. Good programming is hard to find these days and I really am happy that programmers like this exist. AWESOME Thanks again |

Actually it is related to a licensing restriction, i.e. if you have back button in the trial, you are then able to circumvent the "four-folders-max" limit. So it is disabled in the trial.
