There are a number of journaling local backup products; it sounds like roughly what they're offering.

I know a couple of people who used to swear by Norton GoBack, but it's no longer sold and was never updated for Windows 7. Some discussion of newer ones: I think I've heard of "Rollback RX." http://community.spiceworks.com/topi...windows-7-or-8
