System Restore

[Don Read]

Is there any good that could come from 'System Restore'?
Is this really all that it is cracked up to be? I've
tried to use it a few time to justify having it enabled,
but was sadly disappointed. What is its function, and
how is it best applied?

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Restore is not reliable. It's a marketing gimmick for MS.

System Restore :: In MS's own words .......lol

"The System Restore feature of Windows XP enables you to
restore a PC, in the event of a problem, to a previous
state without losing personal data files. System Restore
actively monitors system file changes to record or store
previous versions before the changes occurred. With System
Restore, you never have to think about taking system
snapshots as it automatically creates easily identifiable
restore points, which allow you to restore the system to a
previous point in time."

"without losing personal data files". What does SR have
to do with personal data files ??

"you never have to think about taking system snapshots"
Oh, really.
