| reply to MagMan Re: [XP] Getting space back after reducing System
You can define the amount of space used by system restore which will impact the number of restore points available at any given time. I don't think you can mark a restore point for permanent retention.
I suppose it's possible although highly improbable that a restore point three years old would be available for restoration purposes.
I'm unsure but I think a restore point is created every day and when updates are applied to the system so if this machine you speak of was powered down for a couple years I guess it would be possible.
Would I use such a restore point? Not a chance.
Then again I use Norton Ghost which is my version of system restore  -- Democracy is the illustion of Freedom |
