Re: System Restore Keeping Only One Restore Point

Thanks for the input Dave. My hard drive has 25 gig available out of 40. I
knew that turning off SR would delete all but the last restore point, but
since I only had one restore point.... nothing to lose. I'll try it by
increasing the amount of space available once more, but I doubt that will
work because even when I'd allocated 12% space (default) rather than 3%
(which should be plenty), the same thing was happening.

Hello,

I have the system restore turned on. The space I've allowed for storage
is 3% or 1075 MB.

But System Restore is only keeping one restore point. When it creates
another automatically, it deletes the previous restore point, so
basically, it's of no value right now. If I create a restore point
manually, the previous restore point is kept.... at least right now I
have two restore points from today, because I just created one. But when
SR creates a new restore point automatically, all previous SR points will
be deleted.

I've turned off System Restore, re-booted... then turned on System
Restore and re-booted again. But it's still the same.

I'd sure appreciate any tips on this issue.

How much free space is on your drive? Assuming it's at least 30%, how
about increasing your SR storage size to 10% to see what happens? BTW,
turning off System Restore will delete restore points!
