• I could do a system backup/restore through the eRecovery without any additional software utility?

  Hello

  Restoration of the system and make backups are two different things.

  System Restore is to put your computer settings to an earlier date: yesterday, or last week, etc. (data are not altered during this process.)

  Backing up is backup of data or make a System Image.

  If you have problems with the system restore, this can help you:

  1. If you are using Norton, you should disable Norton inviolable Protection before using the system restore.

  2. try to use Safe Mode system restore.

  Download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware, if necessary in Mode safe mode with networking:

• How to restore a System Restore Points

  Hi, Im because my Sidebar does not work because I accidentally delete some files of it so I search the Web for fix but it does not work with me so my last string is the restoration of the system, but it was deleted when my Sidebar is very good to have a problem with my Vista Im hoping I can still restore my system February Restore Points is Possible? Thank you

  If you mean that you can recover restore points dating back to before those listed when you view available restoration done the answer is no.  Once they are deleted, they are gone.  Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear. The only exception is if you do full image backups and a version that includes the restore points, you want to have.  You can then restore the backup and get to those of restore points (BUT and this is a big BUT, you would lose anything done since the backup was performed, including your data and installed programs revised parameters.)  You can solve the problem of data by performing a full backup of your data (I mean ALL of your data, not only that of your profile - including e-mail, orthographic processing of data bases databases, etc.) before restoring and then after restore the image, restore the backup data - but you could do anything to solve the problem with programs or settings).  The full image backup is only available with Vista Business, Vista Enterprise and Ultimate for Vista (or if you have a 3rd party installed as Acronis True Image 2010 program).

  In fact, restore point files can still be on your system, but the recovery of party 3 tools to get their (assuming they have not already been crushed which is quite likely, given the time) would not be able to identify them because they are not listed with names and dates , but apparently without meaning codes-, then there is no real way of finding Taylor with all other files there.  I do not know if the recovery programs will work with restore point files (they are different from other files).  Maybe a data recovery technician can recover, but they give no guarantees that they will succeed and they cost a lot of money (not less if they come empty)- but the decision is yours.

  System Restore uses up to 15% of hard drive you to save restore points and can do it manually, automatically on a periodic basis or with certain functions (such as the installation of Windows updates).  Gives you generally a period of time long enough to work with - most people rarely use those who have more than a few days (because they notice the problems and try restoring the system quickly after that).  You can change (decrease) the amount of space occupied by the restore points as described in the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/reduce-system-restores-disk-usage-in-vista/.  It saves space, but you have less available restore points - it is a compromise.

  I hope that this same help if this isn't the answer you wanted to hear.

  Good luck!

• Windows 7 - How to create installation of the automatic system restore points

  After installing Norton 2010 Security Suite, my hp officejet pro 8500 printer stopped printing. When I tried to do a system restore, I found that I had only a restore point and that was created after the installation of Norton.

  Under XP, I had restore points created every day, automatically.

  How to configure the creation of automatic system restore points in Windows 7 Pro?

  Hello Mikeoncamano,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site

  Turn on or turn off System Restore

  System Restore regularly changes made to your computer's system files and uses a feature called system protection to create restore points. System protection is turned on by default on the hard disk that Windows is installed. You can enable restoring the system for other disks by turning on system protection for these disks.

  You can not turn on protection system for a disc is formatted by using the FAT or FAT32 file systems.

  To turn on System Protection

  Open system by clicking Start , right-clicking computer, and then click Properties.

  In the left pane, click system protection.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Under Parameters of Protection, click the disk, and then click Configure.

  Do one of the following:

  To be able to restore system settings and previous versions of files, click on restore system settings and previous versions of the file.

  To be able to only restore previous versions of files, click only restore previous versions of files.

  Click OK, and then click OK again.

  Kind regards

  It will create automatically restore points when there are changes to the computer or Windows.

• PC "not responding" after starting a restore point system & does not stop

  I'm running a restore system (Vista Ult) point and PC "unresponsive".  Is it safe to disable or reset manually?  What problems could result if I just press reset?  System retore worked for 4 hours now!

  All advice is appreciated!

  This is far too long to make it work - it froze.  Alternatively, you can press reset if you have such a button on your system (didn't on mine) or you can press on and hold the power button until the system stops (this is not really good for the system and should not be done normally, but you have no choice in this situation).  Then restart it and log in again and try to make the system back restore point.  This time start by disabling your AV software as this sometimess interferes with the process.  Do not open anything else while the system can focus on the creation of the restore point.

  If it freezes again (the process should take 30-45 minutes maximum), then again and restart in clean http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929135?p=1 mode and try to restore the system from there.  If it works, use the procedures in the article to find the cause of the problem with the process, and remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once that is done, don't forget to restore the system to normal status according to procedures.

  If it still does not in cleaning mode, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly on the F8 key during startup until the menu appears), and try to create the restore from there point (if it will let you - I'm not sure that's possible in safe mode (, but it's worth a try).  If it works, at least you have a method to bypass the creation of restore points.  Then we' ill have to work out why it doesn't work in normal mode but let's first.

  I hope this helps.  Post back and let us know how it goes anyway.

  Good luck!

• Not getting not automatically created restore points

  Original title - help with Restore Points

  I recently changed the size of my drives C and D using a utility partition.

  He stopped the automatic creation of Restore Points. I noticed this because the restore disk cleanup deleting data/shadow copies running did not clearly get out any space on my hard drive. I run Disk Cleanup about every 10 days.
  I tried to re - turn on this; but I'm not able to do. Here's what I did:
  Under Task Scheduler, I have a set trigger in place to create a point of restoring daily at 14:00. My computer is sometimes off in the morning.
  The State of this trigger is activated. This is used to create regular restore points.
  I disabled the trigger to create a restore at startup a point a couple of years. My system has been the creation of restore points every day with the other Tirgger at 14:00 in Task Scheduler.
  Question No. 1: Would it be useful to delete and recreate the trigger for 14:00?
  Question 2: I went into control panel – system and Maintenance – System – the System Protection window and I am able to manually create a restore point.
  I can see my drives C and D on the list. Maybe I think too much about things and read things correctly; but I feel like it's better to ask this question:
  * Should I put a check mark next to my D drive or my C drive?
  I ask this question because the title says in this little window of the System Protection: "create restore automatically on some points:
  So, does that mean that only check box for drive C indicates a place where the restore point will be created physically ("on drive C"), or it means to a restore point to data on the C drive will be created? Is this clear?
  Right now I checked C drive and D drive and not on the list. I'm assuming he's asking me which drive I want backed up.
  (I don't know where the backup restore points are saved/located to go look for them.)
  I see that the last restore point was when I did it manually. The task scheduled for 14:00 does not appear on the list in this little window. However, when I check the history of Task Scheduler, it shows that the task has been completed.
  Question 3: Is something wrong with this list? I also check to see if the restore point is created at 14:00 from the task history shows that this has been done?
  I would appreciate help with this. I put a reminder on my calendar to create restore points manually. But something does not work with my system; and I want to fix it.
  Ken

  Restore points are made. Yesterday, after posting the original message/questions, I changed the schedule of the trigger to make a restore point. Maybe something jogging in the system in place. (Not exactly a technical term, I know.)

  Today, I checked the disk cleanup and had much less free space of a few days. I ran clean it point restoration/cliché and cleared space. Then I checked the control panel – system and Maintenance – System – the System Protection window and saw that the restore point the most recent was created today.
  Then...
  Question 1: Maybe change the relaxation time makes a difference.
  Question 2: Place a check mark next to the C drive, which is the drive that you want supported during the restoration.
  Question 3: Everything is fine with this list.

• 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.

• change the backup/restore disc

  You can go there. This is guidance on how to change to the high places.
  If you need more information, simply open help, support and type "how to make the backup.
  Change when you save your files

  When you configure your computer to automatically back up files, you specify a location where the files will be stored. You can change this location if you run out of space in the current location or you want to change the type of storage location (for example, a DVD, a hard disk on your computer or a shared folder on another computer on a network).

  1. Click to open the backup center and restoration.

  2. Click on change settings.

  3. Click on modify backup settings and follow the steps in the wizard. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

• X100e backup/restore

  Hi, I just bought a x100e with preinstalled Windows 7 and wonder how to make a system backup/restore correctly. I need to install Ubuntu in a few days and create/edit a few partitions that exist (I guess that this will replace mbr) and I want to be able to restore the initial state of the system. So, what's the best "workflow" to save/restore, System State or reset to factory settings x100e (witch is probably most interesting for me) in my dulling?

  Hi and welcome to the forum!

  You can create discs of recovery on a USB drive or burn it to DVD by attaching an external optical drive, old method to see this:- http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Creating-x100e-recovery-media-on-USB-stick/ta-...

  With recovery discs, you can restore your system to factory settings any time you want.

  This before installing Linux, otherwise you will not be able to once you have installed Ubuntu.

  I hope this helps.
