Norton GoBack is a Microsoft Windows based disk utility that can record up to 8 GB of disk changes. When the filesystem is idle for a few seconds, it marks these as "safe points". The product allows the disk drive to be reverted to any point within the available history. It also allows older versions of files to be restored, and previous versions of the whole disk to be browsed. Depending on disk activity, the typical history might cover a few hours to a few days. GoBack replaces the Master Boot Record, and also replaces the partition table with a single partition. This allows a hard drive... to be reverted even in the event that the Operating System is unable to boot, while also protecting the filesystem from alteration so that the revert information remains correct. GoBack is compatible with hardware RAID drives. Due to the changes made to the partition table, this can cause problems when dual booting other operating systems on the same hard disk.
