GoBack

Norton GoBack (previously known as Wildfile GoBack, Adaptec GoBack, Roxio GoBack) is a Microsoft Windows based disk utility, that can record up to 8Gb 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 safe point. It does this by effectively undoing all changes made to the disk since the safe point.

How it works

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.
