MISHA Got it, that makes more sense.

But that's also the way this sort of software works. There's no magic bullet to protect/recover data. I imagine the 5GB TechTool is using in your case is a lot less space than it would take to create full backups of all your drives, no?

Having said that, you can just disable those features of the app. There's still lots of other good tools for performing preventive maintenance and repairs (and you don't even to install it on your drive, you can just boot from DVD when you want to run those).

ILGAZ To add more to his frustration, I think he confused terms. I think he tries to mean "5 GB". :))

Tech Tool protection does backup HFS B Trees etc. to make future fix easier and if we don't count last minute changes, almost lossless. He speaks about those files I guess. IMHO it is the only thing making this tool worth buying.
