Restore point

RPGLOBALINTERVAL
Specifies the time interval, in seconds, at which scheduled restore points are created (regardless of whether or not there is an active user session). The default value is 86,400 seconds (24 hours). that you mentioned in your resource kit but i started my pc after several days and no restore point have been created

I'm not sure who you mean, when you say "that you mentioned in your
resource kit". There's no-one from Microsoft here. you are not talking
to Microsoft in this newsgroup.

Make sure you can create Restore Points manually. If this fails, then
System restore on your box is broken. If a manual RP works, then SR is
okay and you need to troubleshoot the scheduling.

Make sure System Restore service and Task Scheduling service are both
running.

Then review the troubleshooting suggestions here:

(and, kudos to Bert Kinney for that very useful webpage)

You can also verify your registry values using this Microsoft KB article:

if after all that, it doesn't work - you have a problem. You will
probably need to mess around with it until it starts working again - or
until you give up. A daily Restore point isn't that useful, it's no
substitute for backing up your data regularly.

it seems that you didn't take a precise attention to my words i can create
restore point but as mentioned in win xp resource kit in RPGLObalInterval no
restore point creates after 2 days.Why?

Try using 'standby' mode instead of powering off to see if you get a
restore point.

 

[db]

perhaps you ought to try making
one manually.

if you can't then there is validity
to the issue.

if you can make a restore point
manually then your in luck, I
would say.

It is possible to go days and days without an automatic RP, but that
does not mean SR is broken.

Windows would like to create one every 24 hours, but the system must
be "idle". That means no mouse, keyboard, disk I/O, surfing, email,
automatic scanning, videos, etc.

If you turn your machine on, do stuff and then turn it off before idle
has elapsed, there will be no RP. If you think SR is broken, let your
machine sit until idle time passes, then if one is due (24 hours) and
you don't see one, then you have a problem.

Dear Mr Dehghan,

You said:
days >> and no restore point have been created

Actually, I do not see any statement there in your original post that
you can create restore points manually.

I am sorry my attempt to answer your question was so careless and
unsatisfactory. If you prefer, I will not try to answer any of your
questions in future. Let me know ...

But even though my suggestions (which were meant to be helpful) were so
thoughtless, useless and even insulting, I'd still be interested to know:

- is the Task Scheduler service running?

- did you walk through Bert Kinney's Restore Point troubleshooting guide
at http://bertk.mvps.org/html/description.html ? What were the results?

- as "Unknown" replied in a separate response, is the machine powered
up, or sleeping, for the 24 hour period? Restore points are only created
if the machine is idle for the elapsed time. Even if you are not using
the machine interactively, some programs running in the background in
your user session can keep the machine "not idle"; and hence, no restore
Point is created. See Bert Kinney's webpage for more information.

Be aware that the Restore Point does not save any user data; it only
saves the registry and a few system files. So it is not a substitute for
a backup.

Since I cannot give you the quality of support which you would like from
this peer-to-peer, community based group, I won't offer any further
advice on this matter. But if you have questions - and you are willing
to accept my ignorant, unsatisfactory answers - let me know

Your Humble servant )
