Operation Manual

11.4 Managing System Restore

Microsoft Windows System Restore tool, available in Windows XP, is used to undo harmful

changes to the system without losing recently changed or created user data. To run the

System Restore tool or find out more about it, select Start -> Programs -> Accessories -

> System Tools -> System Restore. (Please be aware that older Windows versions do

not feature System Restore; therefore, the Manage System Restore tool is unavailable in

these operating systems.)

If you run Acronis True Image Home regularly, this feature in your operating system is

redundant. You can turn it off, freeing up to 12% of your hard disk space, directly from

Acronis True Image Home.

1. To invoke the System Restore Management Wizard, click the Manage System

Restore icon in the main program window.

2. Now you can turn on/off System Restore on all your hard disk(s) partitions at once or do it

individually for each partition.

Note that you cannot turn off System Restore on the system disk (partition), yet keep it on

other disks (partitions).

3. The program lists the configured changes. You can click Back to choose different

settings. If you click Cancel, all new settings will be lost. Click Proceed to apply the

changes.

If you turn off System Restore on any disk or partition, all previously created restore points

for that disk (partition) will be deleted. Please make sure you do not need those restore

points before proceeding.
