Re: Saving system restore points on another drive?

A system restore file (System Volume Information) must be on the
drive/partition it is protecting. Each drive/partition will have it's own
System Volume Information folder for recovery of that particular
partition/drive. This is the way the O/S is designed, so no you cannot move
from C to another drive.
