Automate Restore Point

[Cody]

Hello friends:

Is there a way to automate 'system recovery' restore point in Windows XP? I
am trying to automate the process of creating a restore point everyday at
5pm, but I am not sure if there is way to accomplish this task with group
policies or task scheduler. Appreciate your help. Thanks.

XP establishes a system restore point everyday, doesn't it? Were you just
wanting to do it at a particular time?

Hi,

Restore Points are normally created every 24 hours. Sufficient idle time
is required to for and an automatic restore point to be created. There
are other anomalies that can cause automatic restore point creation
failures. This is why manual restore points may need to be created on a
schedule.
