Can I go back 5 months for system restore

To what extent is it possible to go back to system restore. ?

You will have a certain amount (%) of disk space allocated to system restore points. When this space is used, the oldest restore point is removed. To see how far behind you can go now it just look at the available restore points as it will vary with your % allocated space and the size of the hard drive.

You can allocate more space and therefore go further in the future. Of course you can not use this to create restore points in the past.

If you turn System Protection off then turn it back on it at any time as all the previous restore points will be deleted.

    You just set up the new TC and plug the old TC... copy the sparsebundle existing old TC to the new... but we do not recommend to do this.

    It's much better to start a new backup TM on the new TC and keep the old one for several months until you have a fair story and if you need never old file the chances you decreases considerably with time.

  • How can I increase the recovery of Windows system restore drive 7?

    I have windows 7 ultimate and I read someone's question on the increase in the recovery of the system and I was wondering how to find it on my laptop and desktop? Because if I can and have better if restore points I ever need to go back which would help in the right now with my laptop, that my restore points back only 7 days. Which is weird, this laptop has been used longer than 7 days and I for 2 days.

    And it is the same for windows 7 Home premium? So I could show my father and my brother as well :)
    Thanks Cortana :)

    System Restore saves as many restore points as he shared.  When the allocated space fills, more older restore points are deleted to make room for the new.

    Although SR in Windows 7 is much better than XP, I would always go back much more than a week.  Windows 7 warn you: on the first screen of the system restore, you will notice a link that says "search for affected programs.  Click here to get an idea of what problems might arise if you go ahead with the restoration.

    Also, the list of restore points that shows initially cannot be completed.  Check the box "Show more restore points" to see the rest of them.

    Here's how to adjust the space allocated to the restoration of the system (all Win 7 versions): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/how-much-disk-space-does-system-restore-require

    Here are answers to some common questions about the system restore.

    Remember, the system restore saves its restore points on the same drive that is "protection". If this disc fails, both your system AND your backup disappeared.  Best practice would be to save the backups on an external support.

    If you want to stay with built-in tools, see, for example:

  • Do installed Windows updates remain intact after back by using the system restore?

    I installed the Windows updates at the same time, I've updated my antivirus software, and now when I try to delete a message from Inbox in Outlook 2007 by using the DELETE key on my keyboard, Outlook crashes.  I am trying to determine if this problem was caused by the updates of Windows/Outlook or the update of the antivirus software.  I did a system restore to an earlier date to do all the updates and the Outlook/remove key question has disappeared.  Even though I know that system restore has removed the antivirus update, I don't know if he removed the updates of Windows/Outlook.  Just try to understand that you caused the problem key to delete.  Strange problem, huh?

    Thank you!!

  • Need for system restore

    I am running Windows XP and downloaded the updates from microsoft, as well as a few steps from the front door.  After that, my computer is a mess.  The colors are a mess and the screen is not like it was before.  I tried restoring the system so I could get rid of the downloads I just do and get back to what I had before, but he says that he has no new information so it will not restore the system to sleep, or even 3 weeks before.  Is it possible to work around this problem and restore it to its previous state.  There were 13 downloads I have 4 of them name: Windows Management Framework Core; Hotfix for Windows XP-KB915800-v4; Update for Microsoft Windows-KB971513; Update for Inernet Explorer 8-KB2362765.  I wish that I would never have downloaded these now my computers a mess.  Help, please

  • Why my videos not come back after a system restore?

    I accidentally deleted some videos and they were too big, then they are automatically deleted instead of going in my trash on the 14th Sunday.  I did a restore of the system back to Friday the 12 but my videos are not returned.  Why is this?  How can I get back them?

    System Restore is a feature that restores the State of the system files and programs.

    It is not designed to restore personal files, by doc, photos, video, music, etc...

    However the back ups methodologies, system restores and file copying is a separate discussion.

    in all cases, in order to recover deleted files that are no longer in the Recycle Bin, but "can" be always on the hard disk, you can use a program called recuva to restore.

    However, the disk space that is in the deleted data was marked for re-use by the system when empty space is no longer available to her.

    so, if the system has not and writtened on old data deleted on the disk, then you will have a chance to restore it.

  • How can I go back to iTunes 12.3.2 12.4? Upgrade went wrong - very bad!

    I let iTunes upgrade to 12.4 12.3.2 on my win 10 portable 64-bit. Subsequently, the "subfolder" which was labeled bought ' under library in my music went along with all of my downloaded music. Then I went to get my downloaded Apps and they were missing too. So I went to my old Apple ID to recover my purchased applications and music. Now I can't get back my ID for 90 days. So now, Miss me all my playlists, my 'bought subfolder' with music inside, all my applications purchased and free movies. So, how can I return worm 12.3.2 iTunes or difficulty of this version 12.4? I'm so frustrated!

    To answer the question that is asked, see excellent iTunes from turintest2 for Windows troubleshooting guide at:

    Troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates

    especially the section:

    Remove and then reinstall iTunes and other software components

    You can also download the previous version of iTunes from this page.  However, I'd wait to see if turingtest2 itself could chime to see if there is a fix for your library or if decommissioning can now cause inconsistent with 12.4 hit iTunes library.

  • System Restore will not restore

    When I try to restore to an earlier point (whether they are earlier today, or 1 months ago), System Restore tracks, restarts, and then he says, it cannot restore to the point and no change has been made.  How can I solve this problem?

    Start your machine in 'Safe Mode '. (Press F8 while Windows starts)
    Then run the system restore when you are using safe mode.
    This almost always solves this problem for me.

  • Message after system restore

    Hello

    Before that I brought my computer - not that I tap on now - in a shop three weeks back, I did a system restore to this subject with two Windows 8 recovery disks. While the computer was that I heard bad things about the shop of my neighbours, which course is the repairman recovered data on his computer and put a virus on his desk. In any case, I'll be back the computer tonight and even if I did the factory restore before you import it in, I did another one with the same two tonight recovery disks. After the installation is complete, I decided to turn the computer off and continue the download of applications, etc., tomorrow, but it would not turn off:

    Instead, I got the following message and wonder what it means, especially if the same computer repairer could put a virus on my desk as he did my neighbor.

    He said that he could not close because it detected EXCEPTION UNKNOWN SOFTWARE and he gave the number according to 0xe0434352 saying that it occurred in the location 0x170389cc

    Anyone know what these numbers mean?  I now do another reset of my computer, but this time of the computer itself, not the recovery disks.

    How can I find out, once again, if a virus has been on the registry office, etc., while the computer is out of my care?

    Thank you

    Thanks for the information. I did another restore of factory and the machine booted correctly without these messages; However, I can make the safe mode boot / clean anyway. Never understood why go in safe mode allows, but will try.

    Thank you
