RE: XP deletes Vista system restore points ??
Posted: 07-03-2006, 05:43 PM
what i do is that i use just xp to create restore points both x:xp and
y:vista ...
if i have problems with vista i can restore it with xp ...
well i didn"t really try to restore vista this way, but that's what i do ...
as each vista restore points are deleted by xp ... i do'nt see another
solution ...
what i wonder is "does the vista registry will be backed up too ??"
i should try to see ...

i think "sysytem protection" is not powerfull enough still ...
we should be able to choose excatly what files in which folders we want
always being protected and able to be restored if so ...

ex: i which to create a "restore point" with exacly all the files in
"c:windows/system32" in "c:windows" etc. iso if i back up, the registry file
will be too (for example)

The system state created is for XP when you do that the way you describe.
It will not save a Vista system state because, of course, Vista isn't
running. When XP is running the Vista partition is nothing more than a data
drive.
