Went to do a system restore from a few days ago and found a them all missing except from today. I haven't run the cleanup tool to delete them, I have plenty of disk space, 320G x 2( C drive and a D drive).

My system protection settings seem to be fine.

Any ideas what could have happened ?

I managed to get what I needed, but am concerned that I am not getting restore points as I should. My understanding is that the allocated space will be used, then the oldest will roll off and a new one created.

Do you dual boot with XP? If you do, then see this tutorial below.

Well, go figure nice and simple reason, I leave my system off at night....at night is when it makes suto restores unless I force it to...

Massive Brain Fart there ......bab

Thought I would toss in a update here as to what the issue was and how I fixed it. After trying all the ideas above, even trying to run the task in the scheduler manually and nowthing worked. Having 3 Vista systems at home (and this being the only one having a prob) I decided to delete the task on this one.

Now in the task scheduler you can export/import tasks, so after I deleted the one with the prob, I went to one my other systems, exported the task that makes the restore points, and imported that into this one.

Its now working, somehow the task schedule was corrupt.
