System restore

[Ed Keith]

Is there any reason for having System Restore enabled if I plan to use
DriveImage or Bootitng for all my system backups?

Nope!

Not really, you could use enrunt to keep a copy of your
registry on your Root drive.

Yes. It is very useful if you have some reason to go back to the state
the system was in at some point in the past few days. It will completely
unwind changes to system and most program files, settings and the
registry. Note that it covers only components of the system - not your
data, and should be regarded as a short term matter. But as such it
complements a full backup

Will you back up your entire system every day? If so, the extra
value of System Restore would be that it's much faster to do a
System Restore than to restore an entire backup.

If you don't backup every day, then System Restore will give you
considerable extra restore possibilities, since it does so every
day.

Either way, I would run it.
