I thought Alienwares use AlienAutopsy, were the Dell Drivers team drinking last time and post this Dell program update onto the Alienware page or what?

PS: I never use this or AlienAutopsy because of one simple reason......

All I want from a backup tool is to create an image of my base installation of Windows and forget about it.......when I did try AlienAutopsy once, after a while of booting into Windows, all my files would have like a checkmark on them (a big one) just as if I was backing them up to OneDrive or Dropbox as if they were in the cloud and I always get this stupid notification in the taskbar protection index low so I use my trusted Macrium Reflect Pro

 

Identical program, and same product. Maybe they just did away with the AlienRespawn label.

The program checks to confirm it is being installed on a Dell or Alienware machine, so it may change the name to Respawn during installation. One would have to install it to find out.

It is not as versatile as Macrium Reflect and often does not play nice with hardware changes.

 

If only it didn't bother me with these notifications (protection index low) because it wants me to enable every freakin' feature like scheduled incremental backups and cloud backup I wouldn't mind using it, but all I want is a base system image and that's it but no, it will keep popping up a notification in the taskbar saying my protection index is low and that exclamation mark messes with my OCD plus the fact that it would start marking every file with a checkmark as if it was backed up to the cloud is a big no no for me.

Macrium FTW

 

Go into Services and disable the SoftThinks Agent. That bugger is notorious for causing little glitches and nagging. There is no need for it to run in the background. Doing so is only for reminder/nagging purposes.

 

Thanks for this great tip! you have a PM
