Reduce Restore Point to last one
Hi,
Older ones are automatically deleted as new ones are created or at 90 days old. The only way to manually force removal of old points is to reduce the amount of alloted space using the vssadmin command. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Damalulu" wrote in message ... How do you do this. I can see all the restores but no button to get rid of them........so how do you reduce to the last restore point? |

Hello "Damalulu":
Go to the Backup & Restore Center and select "change settings" under the tasks listed on the left hand pane. Select System Protection tab on the window that pops up. Under "Automatic restore points" you will see your hard drives listed. If you uncheck the drives that have a check mark and click Apply at the bottom, I believe all the previous restore points are removed. You should immediately go back and put a check mark on the drive(s) that you want a restore point automatically created and then immediately create a restore point so you will at least have one to fall back on right away. I would not recommend removing any restore points manually like this....you never know if one of the saved ones might save an operating system re-install and Vista automatically removes the older ones as new ones are added.j Good luck. xiowan...........in tucson "Damalulu" wrote: How do you do this.

Select the Start Orb and type Disk cleanup. Select "disk cleanup" at the top
of menu. Select all users, then C: drive and the More options tab. Under System restore and shadow copies you will see the ability to delete all but the last restore point -- Paul "Damalulu" wrote: How do you do this.
