In post #34, above, it looks like someone turned ON System Restore and then failed to give it any space to store it's Restore Points. No space = no points stored! That's just plain wrong, in so many ways!

@TechnoMage2021 the space is there - ie. 18GB, 1%

I believe I'd give it more than just 1%! Maybe even 20% or more.

I was informed Backup and Restore was to be deprecated… when I looked, it was apparently marked for the kiss of death way back to 1709. What does that mean, really? When does deprecated mean depreciated if it isn’t junked and is still available?
Because I still use it and I use it a lot.

System Image Backup (SIB) Solution

This feature is also known as the Backup and Restore (Windows 7) legacy control panel. For full-disk backup solutions, look for a third-party product from another software vendor. You can also use OneDrive to sync data files with Microsoft 365.

1709

Someone mentioned they’ve used it “50 times” I’ve used Backup and Restore for my OS drive well into the hundreds, sometimes many months after the image was created. I have never, ever had it fail except for a couple of times the drive the image was stored on was corrupt.

3rd party software, I have had fail on sooo many occasions that I stopped using any. @Ghot pointed me to Macrium (but I don’t have a college degree) and AOMEI which seems simple enough. I am like Ghot. I have backups of backups spread across all realms of the Universe, some protected by THOR himself. I learned the hard way, I lost 20 years worth of graphic art and website designs for both myself and clients. It nearly put me off computing, it certainly put me in a state of depression and I quit and have not worked since in that field for 5 years now.

Also, where does Microsoft get off, asking people to “look for a third party software” That’s pretty pissweak!

I still use it..., occasionally..., and, have restored from it successfully!

Type winver into a Run box or the Start Menu.

Pardon me for intervening. You can get it by opening Start menu, then type winver and Enter.

You’re a good man, @Edwin, regardless of what the NSA says.

It works fine. They are always interested in dumping things. If enough people keep using it, they probably won't.
