ACK. The System Restore tool does not replace a system or data backup.

Alex Nichols was, so far as I recollect, of the opinion that Restore
Points more than 10 / 14 days old were of little value. This is for a
computer used daily.

Well, that depends in my opinion. Let me give you an example: After
installing the optional update KB918005 (v4), all connected USB devices
were working fine and so I removed the corresponding backup folders. It
took a while until my son connected an USB memory stick to one of our
laptops, winding up with an instant blue screen. The same happened when
connecting any USB stick to other machines having that update installed
*and* supporting USB 2.0. Using an older system restore point prior to
that installation resolved that issue.
