    I installed Windows on my Mac via bootcamp and I got all messed up at uninstall. There were ghost files and forlders all over the place and performance got compromised so I had to install a fresh image of OS X. I remembered this very nice utility called Deep Freeze, and it's good to see they have a Mac version. My question is, does it compromise performance on the Mac?

    It's my audio computer and although I'd like to be safe to reboot at a frozen point in my system, if performance is hindered, I'd not connsider it at all.

    any experiences?

    Thanks for your input.

    Have seen it but when a computer its been use to record audio a good solution is to install only what you need and make a good IMAGE of the system drive . After a few months or years when everything goes to shit, revert back to that clean Image, upgrade the MacOS if you have to, install those new plugins you have discovered and make another Image.

    This works for me and it doesn't have to work for you, everyone is different :)

    All the best

    Do you mean by using CCCloner or a utility like that? I used to have a clean install on a small hard drive just to use it a source for cloning, but it died off, and buying a 1Tb drive just to keep an image is overkill. That's why Deep Freeze seems like a good option.
