Using GoBack
The usage of GoBack was quite beneficial when utilizing computer systems back in the late 90's and well into 2002. At this point Roxio sold GoBack to Symantec and everything fell and went to hell. If you are administering a system from windows 98 and above, this paper will highlight the usage of GoBack. For simplicity please click here to download the PDF regarding GoBack.
RollBack Rx
Rollback is a tool similar to the likes of GoBack which operates on operating systems of Windows Vista and above. The tool archives information and contains details on “safe points” or, “Restore Points” that can be saved in the software to return a system back to a previously operating state.

DeepFreeze
Unlike the previous two products, deep freeze operates by returning the computer at every reboot to a save point. Each point will restore a machine to another save point, and even record registry, service packs, and other information. Ideally unlike the other two products that may still be on the market, DeepFreeze also operates for OS X. Download the white paper for DeepFreeze Here.
