I had a problem with my system a week ago and tried to restore
it back a couple of days using System Restore. Well, it restored
but didn't correct the problem. In fact, it created more problems
because I had installed some Office software and then I had to
reinstall three programs again 'cause I was not able to choose
the restore point. I didn't know what software caused the initial problem.
I know, I should've created restore point(s) prior to installing each
program. I didn't because System Restore creates restore point prior
to a new installation. (at least I think it does). Anyway, enough of
my dislike for System Restore.
I need to ask about three questions.
1) Is there a right and wrong way to use system restore?
2) Can I or Should I disable System Restore? And what ever
happened to the _Restore folder??
3) Is there any backup software that simply backs up system files
that someone can recommend??
Any help will be appreciated,
James
