shadow copy / restore thingy archives exactly what?

[anonc]

Hi,

Does shadow volume copy = restore point service? same thing?

Whatever it is.. I see it running alot. My understanding is that it is
only backing up system files, basically stuff in the Windows folder. Or
is it including personal files in the process?

thanks

Thats fine. I just don't want it saving every version of every file i
edit away somewhere so that presidente Bush can learn what times of day
