How do I burn system restore points to a CD?

[Guest]

Hi

I am hoping that someone can provide guidance with a Windows XP Home Edition System Restore question. I have created a restore point that I want to keep indefinitely. Since the system restore points get over written due to limited space, I believe that I will need to burn a copy of my desired restore point to a CD. If this is indeed how I need to accomplish this objective, how would I use the data on the CD to restore my computer (I did not notice a browse option on the standard system restore wizard when a system restore point is being selected)

Thanks in advance for any support / direction you can provide

Regards

Jo

One cannot selectively backup or store individual Restore Points.
You may want to consider purchasing a disk imaging program,
such as Norton Ghost.
