system restore points when they and how do I remove them

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Behold, it is I reinstalled Vista and now my portion of my hard drive recovery is almost full and he tells me to delete some of my restore points which could clear enough space to take care of the necessary space.  I tried to find files to restore and no luck in that area someone can lend a hand in this area pease.

Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

Hello

Don't forget to check with the system manufacturer for instructions, as the recovery of your system and the
Restore points should not have one impact on the other. Did you use OEM manufacturer system
disc to re - install Windows?

Phantom memory also holds your restore VSSadmin points it defines parameters.

  • I don't want to send the client identifiers when they register, how can I send them later?

    I have a secure area that is put in place, when a registered customer that they are not added to this area they will have to be approved first.

    I have disabled the email that gives the customer login information when filling out the registration form, instead, they get just the answering machine telling them they cannot connect until they have been approved and will receive an email within 24 to 48 hours.

    When the customer is then added to the secure area, I want the email to go out with the connection information, how can I do this?

    Thank you

    Dean

    Hi Dean,

    The ideal option is to go to secure the areas->-> Quick Subscribers subscribe + have ticked the details by email to the user.

    Another option is to go into the details of the customer through clients-> subscriptions-> sending of identifiers.

    Otherwise, the only alternative is to manually send the clients to inform them of their login information and access.

    If you have any software backup as totalrecovery pro 9 or norton ghost, they prevent you from creating a manual restore point.  I have 9 pro full recovery and everything I do is to disable the Recovery Manager when I want to create a manual restore point.  There is no problem with system restore points created they work very well it is the manual of who are the problem.

  • I want to do a "System Restore" at an earlier date than when I did a "System Restore Point"; How can I realize this "System Restore" to a date that is earlier than the "System Restore Point"?

    I am running a version of Microsoft "Vista." I want to do a "System Restore" to a date earlier than the 'Restore Point System' which is steeped in external memory of my terminal (and apparently in memory of boarding school of the terminal).  The terminal shows only the "System Restore Point" that I had introduced manually; How replace this erroneous 'system Resote Date Point' so that I can get rid of things that I wish were not included in the drive of my terminal?  Specifically, the "Ready Boost" option has ruined my terminal memory drive; That's why I want to get rid of with a "restoration of memory", but there is no other precedents "System Restore" options.

    You will be able to perform a system restore to a restore point created or present on the system. If you have no restore point created before the questions, then you will not be able to restore it.

  • 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.

    "Do or do not. There is no test. »

    • "Luke, the force is with you." :-)
  • All my system restore points are gone, can I get them back? They were here before, I did a restore earlier in the day.

    I have read through many of the issues with my problem similar but found no answers I thought applied to my question.  I use Vista Home Basic and it came on laptop. He began to get a blue screen, the other week that close... I signed on and it allows me to open my Cricket to go online and allows me to open IE and go online - I was for a few hours.  With all the previous still running I went to open AOL and the blue screen appeared again. I started to play and it seems that AOL is the reason.  System Restore fixed.  I could sign and use Cricket, IE and even AOL.  A few weeks later now I am online using IE and I had saved a few sites to my bookmark on the google toolbar.  I kept all the programs like I always do and clicked on AOL and of course, a blue screen and shut down.  I thought I'd make system restore as before... He's fine, but I noticed that when I went to IE my google toolbar was gone and I have several sites needed bookmarks so I played with the tools and disabled my toolbar and it permits etc. nothing helped so I defeated the system restore and signed for IE and google toolbar is back to normal but now AOL is causing the blue screen new.  I decided to try, then uninstall the google toolbar and simply re-install everything when I do a restore to get AOL works or to uninstall AOL and reinstall it again. I opened the system restore and that's when it opened and said there are no restore points on my system and take care to create a manual.  I'm afraid that if I do just that I lose the ability to restore my restore points, if there is a way (which means yes, you can restore the system restore points, but you must do before anything else, as if I created an it would ruin my chance to restore my 'old'?).  In any case, of course, I must have the computer checked as to why the blue screen is arise every few weeks but so far here, I want to do system restore to fix at the moment.  What can I do to get my restore points back?  Thanks in advance!

    Hi Diana,

    Thank you for answering... that's why I'm confused, I know not that restore points deleted as space fills up and also if you turn off your protection system but neither one of these grounds was the case.  I had a lot of space (from the previous use of sys restore, I see how many restore points can accumulate before deletion and it was not nearly that many) and protection of my system is on?  It just happened without reason that's why I was hoping that I could get back them due to abnormal circumstances.  I do not!  I have uninstall AOL completely and when I reinstalled it everything went well up to what he did and he opened up to find my connection type and of course, the blue screen appeared and stop.  Obviously, AOL, but I thought that a new facility would set as I had AOL since I was the new laptop.  I thought that maybe a file was corrupted or something and uninstall and reinstall would work but no luck.  I was going to do a complete reinstallation of my laptop all but before I do, I noticed I never had disks when I bought it, everything was installed (Windows Vista), but they do not include a disc of resettlement.  I don't know if this is how they do it now, or if mine was incomplete, so I guess I'll put hands on MS supports.  Thanks again!

  • How to restore a significant update to Windows 7 I lost after a restart for an earlier version of the system restore point?

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 on a desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-350 t. Recently, a malfunction of Windows at startup caused my father reboot the system to a previous system restore point. (He says it was one of several options at startup.) Everything seems to work fine now except that I seem to have lost a critical update Windows downloaded after the restore point, Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.256. Still, there are in my Windows update history and is listed as "installed successfully", but when I check my updates installed, it is absent. Also, when I try to search for updates installed, I get a message indicating that Windows is up-to-date. I can't uninstall the update and re - install because it is missing from my list of installed updates. So I guess that the re-start to a previous system restore point has put this important WIndows update in limbo. How can ensure me that this update is installed correctly and working properly?

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.

    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.

  • Is it possible to defragment AND keep the system restore points to lose in Win XP?

    Sometimes my system restore points disappear and I have learned to rely on them.  I heard that defragmentation can erase the system - something to do with the Windows shadow copy service restore points.  Is there a safe way to defragment a hard drive (internal or external) WITHOUT losing any system restore points: both those created manually as well as automatically created? I have a lot of disk space and all criticalWindows updates. No malware. CHKDSK not display any errors.

    I really thank you goes out all the time and difficulties that you have not only to explain my problem but at the arrive at a solution that has worked for you.  I already read the CNET critical user of and download Ultimate Defrag, but have not yet installed it because I have a few questions that may be critical to my getting the same wonderful performance you met.  Not wanting to - by my own ignorance - replace one problem with another, can I ask if you know where I can find these answers? :

    (1) my PC has 1 G of RAM an and a Pentium 4 processor, a desktop Dell 8 years.  Have I not enough resources for the programme of work?

    (2) I have two internal HDs - a bunch of 80 G and 40 G Data - with a 1 t external for backups.  Will I be possible to defragment one at a time so that a period of 8 hours at night will give the app some time to run and complete - especially the first time I use it on every HD?

    (3) a review mentions a setting from the default installation for those who have my knowledge minimum tech. Is it choose a wise move in my case? I only will give non-essential options or options I'd understand even when doing this?

    (4) I need to turn off WinPatrol (Start Menu Manager) and install my Avast AV in addition to all the normal precautions for cleaning?

    (5) should I disconnect from the internet before installing (I have a shortcut on the desktop that allows me to turn off my DSL modem)?

    (6) can the program itself or its installer to run in Mode safe and which is preferred? Of course, I would create a prior restore point I have restart mode without failure.

    (7) a critic says that the 50-page help document is of no use to someone with my limited knowledge. Is there a training video or another type of help?

    If I have already imposed on you enough, perhaps some other experienced users could help answer the above?
