System restore -90 day Erase Policy Bites!

iDash · Aug 2, 2008

System restore
System Restore "restore points" are missing or deleted

"A restore point reaches an age of 90 days. The restore point is then deleted because 90 days is the default time to live.'

1. Is there a way to change this I want to keep my restore points? FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 600GB HD, space is not an issue

I go on long vacation come back, Have a update problem/EA,

Then notice all my (GOOD) restore points gone,

It Crazy, IMO, The First Restore point is the Most important

2 days now reinstalling Vista

2. Can I save some file to a disc?
3. Where are the files Located?
4. Can I change some setting that will Keep them?

AnyHelp, thanks

I cant be 100% sure with this 1 however i would imagine you would have to increase the Maximum System Restore Size by following this tutorial http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76227-system-restore-disk-space.html

You go on 3 month vacations leaving the machine on unattended? The only "important" restore point is the last good one, right? What would be the purpose of restoring further back than the last known good config? Just curious?

btw, I want your job.
