Can i save system restore points on another drive
Hello
I have a question, but i don't know whether it is a blunder or not,anyway am just curious so here we go can i possibly change the drive where system restore points are saved by Vista
i asked it because my windows and programs are installed on C: drive, but on the other hand E: drive, where I store data and files.
Can I get Vista to save the system restore points on E instead of C,there i have enough space
any thoughts looking for a nice suggestion from veteran.
any helps would be brilliant.!!
thanks
Re: Can i save system restore points on another drive
System Restore is a system recovery feature of Windows that creates snapshots, or restore points, of the state of your computer at various intervals or before you perform a certain task. No i don't think it is possible to change the location of restore point.the System Volume Information file is protected and you are not authorized to modify it's path...
Re: Can i save system restore points on another drive
Dude, it is not possible even if you have enough space on your E drive A system restore file should be on the drive/partition it is protected file.and you know on your machine every hard drive/partition has it's own System Volume Information folder for recovery of that particular partition/drive. and the operating system are made following this concept..so it you are denied to do this process
Re: Can i save system restore points on another drive
It is only possible to gain access to the System Volume Information folder,but you can't change it's location i mean to another hard drive since each drive has got it's on System Volume Information files which originally a a hidden system folder that the System Restore tool uses to store its information and restore points.It is a fact that we have a System Volume Information folder on every partition on your computer. you can see this by Clearing the Hide protected operating system files check box on your folder options.
