    Hello all. I'm curious, how exactly do I manually make a restore point with Respawn? Is it possible, or do I have to pay the $40 to unlock that feature? Any help/advice is appreciated. I can't use regular system restore because I keep getting a critical error message, so I assume I'm meant to use Alien Respawn. Thanks.

    Unfortunately, all the basic (or free) version of AWR is good for is making recovery media, really. If you want the option of backup/restore, you have to pay for it. Of course, paying for it NOW, if your system is unstable, is rather pointless as you will only be able to back up your machine as it is now. What problems are you experiencing? - system specifications could come in handy if you wanna tell us.....

    My computer is running fine now. But I would like to make a restore point of today in order to use for the future in case anything happens. The only current restore point on my PC is from March last year and I want a more recent one. Only way to do that is through Alien Respawn?

    Just purchased Respawn. Seems like a very good investment really. Would hate for something to screw up and have to revert all the way back to factory default. This way I can start backing up my stuff early and often.
