Lew,

I only use GoBack because it makes lots of "safe points" throughout the
day.  Restore only seems to have one a day.  There is much more
flexibility with GoBack. If you install a program that messes up your
computer, just "revert" to just before your install.  And if you get a
virus, you can do the same thing.  And it gives you a chance to bring
back files that it has removed, once you reboot.

I do know that GoBack has a limit of how far back you can go to "revert",
depending on the size of your HD and your computer usage.  The more you
use your computer, the less storage you will have.  But I've got a 120 GB
HD with average use and it goes back a week.
