Deletion of Restore Points

• Delete a restore point is dated in the future.

  My time system had error default next month. (Today, it's the 4th Nov - the date system was fixed for December 4) When the created sytem one automatic restore point, it was created on 4 Dec - the wrong date. It is causing me to get safety alerts to my bank security certificate has expired. (It is said that it has expired the 24 Nov, which is 20 days)  I am worried about what will happen when I try to erase "all but the last restore point", what I do on a regular basis.  It seems to me that the logical and easiest solution would be to delete this as unique restore point dated 4 December - or to change the date on this file; but I have no idea how to do that. Can you help me?

• Missing system restore points

  Take a look at my system restore points, I found that it was not. There is no reason I know for it - system restore has been on, but being created no restore points - I turned it off and then new and now that it will create restore again points.

  Something happened to me I was had been looking at some dodgy sites "make money on the web easily" just out of curiosity. Anyone know of any malicious dishes that destroys the restore points. It would be a sneaky way to stop the removal of spyware.

  Also I noticed some automatic update of Microsoft had just completed installation - would this have deleted restore points? From what I read the auto create restore points updates not remove them.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  I found this info:

  If there is no free disk space on the monitored system drive or on any of the available non-system drives, System Restore purges restore systematically points in all monitored partitions to free disk space. If the free disk space falls below 50 MB on any monitored partition, System Restore will stop watch and suspend.

• No restore points were created on XP

  I'm on Windows XP home sp3. I recently opened the system restore and discovered that there is no restoration of the available restore points, with the exception of the control point created when I opened the system restore utility. I used the system restore in the past, so I'm familiar with the way that windows automatically creates restore at startup points. As I restart my computer every day it should be every day at least one restore point. Restore my settings are set to maximum disk space, and "turn off System Restore" is not checked. I have 45 GB of free space (60%) on my drive hard. I am very conscientious about my hygiene of the computer. I use Microsoft Security Essentials for my antivirus and I run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware per week.  I run version 11 for PC Tools Registry Mechanic and Secunia Personal Software Inspector every week. I also run Disk Cleanup (I use ever more options to clean the system restore) and weekly Disk Defragmenter. Once a month I run CCleaner.

  I read the article of knowledge of MS Q301224 database, but it does not apply to my case. I need help to create and keep my restore points. BTW, exactly the same problem exists on another computer in the family who's going XP pro sp3, and I maintain on the same schedule of hygiene.

• The system restore points, how can be stored/kept?

  I had problems restore XP on the computer of a friend.  I can't after installing SP3, a question that will be asked in a separate post.

  In an effort to not having to do a full system recovery on the computer in question, with this latest attempt to recover the operating system and install all updates, I started the creation of restore points for the system after each step, I took to get things running and upward.

  And that is, after installing SP3, with installation fails and then going back until the restoration of the system to an earlier configuration, I found none of the points longer existed the system restore.   :-(

  Is there a maximum number of restore points in the system that can be stored in XP and later Windows operating systems?

  Hey, Jose,

  I'm sorry for the late reply to your post, but I removed the weekend baby a bad back that makes me mad.

  I'll try to put your comments in quotes, with my response immediately after, flea.

  The hard drive is 160 GB.  The car had 2 partitions, the recovery partition.  Before reinstalling everything from scratch, I've used Easeus Partition Manager Home Edition to create a 3rd partition to move the original data of C:\ drive to your new partition so my friend can sort files and keep it as he and his family want and discard the rest.  I just copy everything that I can, because I don't know who, what, and where they have stored files.  I actually found a file stored in the recovery partition, but I moved it.

  "Here are some reasons that XP will remove RPs.

  'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301224 '.

  • Read the KB article.  To make sure that we are on the same page, I get "system drive" means C:\.
  • Lack of free space should not be a problem.  C:\ is 32 GB, 10.1 GB used.  D:\ is 111 GB, GB used 21.2.  E:\ is 5.98 GB, used 5.00.  E: is the recovery Partition.
  • No disk compression
  • Did not display the warnings system restore.
  • I do not turn off System Restore fo any player.
  • This isn't an upgrade of the system to an earlier version, I just turn on the computer the way it came, new out of the box.
  • The system was always restored from the recovery Partition.  I have a set of restore CD, but they have been written about the recorded side with a felt marker.  I have not tried cleaning off the coast, this will be my absolute last resort.   :-)
  • Disk cleanup does not give me tabs and options as mentioned in the article.  I guess that these show upward when you upgrade from a previous version of the operating system.
  • I don't think I'm under low disk space.    :-)
  • Does not not after the age of 90 days, nor have I have reduced the size of the data store.  I didn't know either of these possibilities before you read this KB.  See how the KB has been written, I suppose that these two parameters can be changed.  Can you point me in the right direction for how to do this?  I have a computer multiboot (XP Pro and Vista Ultimate Edition) and I would change the date of age never delete a restore point, because the computer is rarely used nowadays.

  "I don't know that when you install SP3 and it goes well, a single method to uninstall SP3 is to restore the system to the time before SP3 was installed:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950249

  This would mean that you would still RPs after that installation of SP3 (if things were favorably) and that was my observation. »

  • When I started to have problems, I simply started from scratch with a Destructive Restore process.  When I'm really frustrated after several failures, I started looking for a quicker way to get back to a point just before I installed SP3 and found this KB.  After that, it was the safe boot mode and using the Control Panel Add/Remove programs to remove the SP3.  And I got very, very familiar with the process!   Laughing out loud

  "Other things I can think can remove all restore Points are third party maintenance and system cleaning tools, poorly designed or introducing a third part malfunction anti malware tools, etc..".  Malicious software can disable the system restore (temporarily of course), but I never saw remove Restore Points.  The XP disk cleanup will also delete all but the most recent restore Point. »

  • Other Easeus Partition Manager, I never got far enough along to try any other third party software.  My "modus operandi" is updated completely OS and Internet Explorer before I install any other software and update it.  However, with the idea of the recovery Partition, do not not the software isn't an option.

  "If they are all absent, it always seems that a human element involved somewhere."

  • I learned long ago, the days of 8-bit, unless there is a real hardware failure, almost all computer problems can be tracked to a human being.
  • Not all system restore points were missing, just the first I created which is involved by creating a restore point after you change the system, such as the removal of my friend doesn't use software.  For example the software to connect to an ISP with a modem.  They got the DSL.   :-)
  • All deletions of software would help speed up the computer for his own use.  The rest of the family is like me today, Mac users.   :-)

  "To answer your question:

  The settings default for the accumulation of Restore Points is 12% of the size of the monitored hard drive or 90 days (both values are adjustable of course).  Microsoft seems to draw attention to the way in which the Restore Points "live."   "Then, the oldest Restore Points will start to get deleted to make room for new Restore Points (see also KB950249).

  • 12%, eh?  Is it possible, in fact, I have exceeded this number by 12% by creating too many restore points?  Knowing what I was doing, which seems to be a possiblity says, as restoring all points were never deleted, only the earlier.

  I'll certainly post the info you suggested in the post on the SP3 forum.

• Products of disk cleanup does not not to remove older restore points

  Hi, I use Vista Home Premium sp2, and although I had this problem for a long time, I barely had time to ask about it.

  I have a separate drive (physically) for my backup/restore points, whenever it fills the only way I can do anything or is to format the drive and try again. Both Vista and CCleaner fail to create a disk space when asked to remove older restore points. There is no error message; They seem to work, but no free space appears on the disc.

  In fact, the only software that I can remember that actually create any space by deleting old restore points was the Norton AV that was shipped with the system, but it was on a limited license that has expired for a long time.

  All the advice to avoid the trouble of formatting the hard drive and create a new backup from scratch would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  I think you're confused of Restore Points and backups of your files or a backup of the operating system image.

  Restore Points, who put your computer's settings back to an earlier point in time, are saved on your system, C: drive, not on another drive.

  Backups of files or System Image backups you save to other media; an another hard drive, etc.

  Disk Cleanup and CCleaner does not remove files or backups of the system; You must do it manually.

  See you soon.

• create restore point

  On the two latest updates of definitions soundcards Defender, the usual announcement 'create restore point' is missing.   Update history confirms successful downloads, but I wonder if something essential has been omitted.

  To store restore points, you need at least 300 megabytes (MB) of free space on each hard disk with the system on Protection.

  System Restore can use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk.

  As the amount of space fills up with restore points, System Restore deletes older restore points to make room for the new.

• SYSTEM RESTORE! NEEED HELP! All the restore points went :(

I decided a few days later I want to restore to an earlier date; Guess who has no conservation is only 27 minutes ago! : D I need to know how to create a new set to ANY point in time restore point.

  You cannot use system restore to factory settings.

  And you can not create a Restore Point for yesterday today.

  Restore of yesterday point had to be made, so that you could come back today.

  You must use one of the methods below to return to the factory settings.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  Contact Acer at the link above and ask them to send you a set of recovery Vista disc/s.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11, and Acer is normally Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• How to selectively remove Restore Points in Windows 7 Pro

  The discussion that I found to this question did not address the selective deletion of restore points. It describes how to remove all but most recent which does not help me.

  Does anyone have an answer?

  Thank you!

  You are limited to the reduction of disk space used for the restore points. This will cause the oldest points should be deleted.

• Disable the creation of Automatic System Restore Point? -SOLVED

  Is it possible to disable the automatic creation of System Restore Point (to prevent Windows to create points of food every day and after (re) install programs / Windows updates)?

  I want to manually create System Restore Points because the automatic creation uses too much space, because I install new programs very often.
  Note that I still want to use system restore. I don't want it to be automatic.

  Hello

  Well, Yes, you can shut down the computer to automatically create restore points by disabling the system of protection under the system restore. System protection is a function that creates and records information about your computer's system files and settings regularly. The system protection also saves previous versions of files that you have modified. It saves these files in the restore points that are created just before significant system events, such as the installation of a program or device driver. They are also created automatically once every seven days if no other restore points were created in the last seven days, but you can create restore points manually at any time.

  Again, I suggest you to create a restore point when you turn off system protection. Basically, to store restore points, you need at least 300 megabytes (MB) of free space on each hard disk with the system on Protection. System Restore can use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. As the amount of space fills up with restore points, System Restore deletes older restore points to make room for the new. The system protection, the feature that creates restore points, is enabled by default. We recommend that you keep System Protection turned on for all hard disks that contain important files so that you can use system restore if you need to.
