Update for system restore

[surfbug]

Is any update for system restore?
Thanks

It would be supplied by Windows Update if there was one. Why do you feel that it needs an update?

I'm wondering the same thing. I wouldn't rely on system restore as your only recovery method. Do you have another backup program like Acronis True Image?

I know there are many System Restore boosters here @ VDr but I am not one of them. On my personal machines, I always disable it. Disc imaging is superior is every way.

I agree with you that Disk imaging is great, but how many images you need to produce every week? month? forever?
system restore is for a day to day business and it helped me a lot even though it had failed to recover the system from a serious crash.

I image at least monthly and additionally as my home systems might require. One PC takes 7 minutes and the other about 15 minutes. (Now at work, the approach is very different than what I do at home on a casual basis.)

One of my beefs with System Restore is that average users believe it's a cure all (we can probably blame Microsoft for that by using that name for it.) It's far, far from a cure all. MS improved it in Windows 7 but it's still not THE answer like imaging...

True, Sys Restore isn't the answer to everything, but I've found it to be a very useful tool over the years. I use a combination of both, and so can be reasonably confident that one or the other will work, if I ever need them.
