System Restore Points

[MZ]

I have read all the Help on my HP computer about this
subject and I cannot find the answer to this question.
Can I, or HOW can I, lock in a restore point so that it
will not be overwritten or scroll off by subsequent
restore points? Is it necessary to turn off System
Restore completely? I would prefer it to continue
establishing restored points, but just not change the
ones I want to retain.

Thanx,

Marvin;
You can't.
If you turn off System Restore ALL Restore Points are immediately
deleted and unavailable for future use.
It sounds link you want System Restore to function like a back-up
application.
You should get an application that fulfills your needs as System
Restore is limited and does nothing for personal data.

Jupiter,

Thanks. That is what I suspected. I'll just save
the important files then.
