Backup and restore the operating system with the System Restore function in Windows XP - video tutorial

Everyone has problems with the PC and we all complain to someone more skilled when the computer goes crazy or when we "spoil" its settings. But everything would be much simpler and easier if we all used the functions that come integrated into the operating system, and here I mean of course System Restore and Windows Backup
In today's tutorial I set out to explain how the System Restore works. Many of you turn off or rather disable this feature for the first time since you installed Windows and entered it. Do what you do with your PC… in a short time you end up ruining its settings and then you complain that you don't know how to finish it.
Well that System Restore is very helpful especially for the most clumsy in using PC
What exactly does this System Restore?
Simply save your settings and files and entire system state when the restore point (restore point or restore point) is created.
When you use System Restore?
We can use when for example you want to install a software, which we are not sure, or maybe a game which just are not sure, or we can use it before making risky settings or changes to your operating system or files located on the OS partition.
Before you start to install something that you know is risky and you could ruin your operating system, make a Restore Point
Go and click the Start button then click All Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools then System Restore in the window that appears select:
Create a restore point then you will have to click on Next, at Restore point description create a description for the restore point (to know on what occasion the restore point was made) and then click on Create .
When we restore a restore point (a restore point)?
As I said above, you can restore a restore point when you see the operating system goes haywire when you notice that some settings are not as they were when certain functions are not responding, and thus restoring one of recovery points that you have already created, the system will return to the state it was in when you created the restore point.
I guarantee that by doing so you will not have major problems with the PC and even if you "spoil" it you will be able to return it to its original state as simple as it damaged 🙂
The System Restore comes implemented on all Windows operating systems of Microsoft.
At some video tutorials that will follow, I talked about several backup solutions that we have, we will present both free backup solutions and backup solutions for commercial, of course we will also discuss additional backup options that 7 has windows vista and windows.
Remember, if you have suggestions, complaints or additions do not hesitate to write in the comments box, de-also if you met the comments box a user has a problem and you can help him, do not hesitate to do it, the only way we can do this place better, see the comments box!
Enjoy !

      Adrian is the most active because he does tutorials but Cristi takes care of the site! If Cristi hadn't done anything now, you would have been waiting for the tutorial to load! The others who do the tutorials don't know what they are doing…. that's it, you can't always do tutorials!

    it's ok.

  3. If you have infected your computer, it is a bit difficult to restore with this program…

    • If you make a system restore point and then decide to close the System Restore in My Computer - Properties -… then the restore point / points are deleted. It's nonsense. Maybe you want to make a restore point and then the PC will not automatically make points. I think the whole backup is the best option.

  4. hello softu not always go with the WIND

  5. Very good tutorial!
    I use a very long ptr backup software (Acronis, which exists here a videotutorial) this really is super soft whenever problems with the operating system and restore bp immediately resolved.
    But I want that future tutorials to make reference about backup and antivirus software (antivirus available when we restore??). Every time you have to install and configure antivirus after each restore.
    S'auzim only good

      I think it was very clear tutorial. Since I said in the tutorial that when you point to restore it saves all system settings you have when you do then if it was installed antivirus automatically when you did the restore point and was set at the time when you give he will restore state when set and installed you will not have to install it again, God did not have to think a little bit more logic?

  6. not good in all cases .. best with a true image software or other professional ex.acronis

  7. System Restore is useful, but also a little dangerous if we have viruses in the PC, they can "catch" the restore point, if the antivirus deletes the virus, it can appear again.

  8. Thank you, I have a problem: I use nustiu with Camtasia Studio! Accurately how to do video in HD. Thanks for the tutorial and good luck further.

    thank you very much

    • Cata: System Restore in Windows is old and a little unstable, because when I used it I did not restored properly and sometimes not at all and it was not that I did not have enough RAM or memory. I use a program a million times better, more efficiently. It's called Comodo Time Machine and my opinion is the best. You can even restore it even if you have the virus and do not go to boot windosul that has a special function for this. Find out yourself. What do you think? Make a tutorial Comodo Time Machine?  

      Thank you very much for the suggestion, we will definitely do the same about Comodo Time Machine. It is true that the Restore system is not the best solution but it is the most handy, it comes ready installed and it is very easy to use and it has no options in which to get lost. It can be used successfully by the most "playful" and who walks all day to the settings of windows. using System Restore even if they break it and do not know where they went and what settings they made, give a restore and that's it, the system is as it was.

      To be honest, your problem is beyond me, you may have a virus that has attacked your system restore function or who knows…

  10. Windows System Restore is old and a little unstable, because when I used it I did not restored properly and sometimes not at all and it was not like I had enough RAM or memory.

      If that little program is really good [Comodo Time Machine] and will consider good and definitely Cristi Adrian or jump could make a tutorial about it now it depends to test it and to see if they work and what it can also do to deserve tutorial

  11. I'm sure there are programs that are much better than Windows, but I wanted to hear some opinions endorsed to my problem: why I can not do system restore?

  12. Virus not think I am, not my bag everywhere and I can not get anything to scan.
    The only difference from a few months ago, is that we have another antivirus (Kaspersky Internet Security). Could this be the cause?

  13. I read that it can launch System Restore and the safe mode.It best to do so and that's the difference if launched from safe mode or normal windows?
    Thank you

    • lpsI read that it may launch System Restore and the safe mode.It best to do so and that's the difference if it is launched in Safe mode or normal windows?
      Thank you  

      Almost none…
      In Save Mode only start the modules and services vital to the operation of Windows and it is assumed that if you have a virus that would prevent the launch of System Restore from normal Windows, entering Save mode it will no longer be active and you can use the System Restore function to restore … But it's not nailed… it's worth a try.

  14. Quite pretty good software in Windows but does not compare with special software for backup or as I like to make tutorials and software in windows all too much I appreciate your work, keep up the good work you're good. Thanks for the tutorial, only good and successful further

  15. Hi, can you send to me that you have in interface tutorial? (Interface of Vista)

    I tried more to make this restore point but unfortunately it didn't work… anyway after about 2 days I did it. The tutorial catches on well, because there are many who don't know about this function. Greetings and only good!

  19. I did a restore point to win (C: /) on a laptop after I install software and change settings with my win, after which he went as he wanted
    The idea is that it is not too bright, you could say that it is a more "primitive" version, also a beckup prog is better in my opinion.

  21. Hi. System restore is very easy to do even for beginners, so me. I used it a few months ago. I wanted to use it a few days ago a few times, but it didn't work. The biggest change I made was that I installed another antivirus, Kaspersky Internet Security, and I thought it was something related to it. In the end I succeeded. I'll tell you a little bit of history, maybe Someone else suffered and knew how things were. I said that every time I tried to do a system restore, it occurred to me that the system could not be restored on the date I chose. I went into safe mode and managed to restore to an earlier date, only that, after the successful restoration was complete, it showed me more information that some folders had been renamed to keep their files. I could click to view their list containing the original name, new name and their location. He added one (2) to each folder, and the location was like c: \ doc. and settings \ all users \ aplication data \ kaspersky lab \… temporary files \ update \… So I thought they were related to the antivirus I closed the window, I gave ok at the end of the restoration process, windows started and… when all the icons appear I wake up with an antivirus window like the black.lst file is missing or corrupt and I run the update to fix the problem. I did the update and it did, but it told me that not all components were loaded and I wake up again with that warning with black.lst. My heart kind of stopped and I thought what nonsense I did… Eventually, after about 2-3 hours, I gave it a new update and it was complete, the problem was solved. Everything is fine, when it ends well, 🙂
    Meanwhile I made any 2-3 restore-uri.Sper I zapacit.Deocamdata not going well.
    All good.

  25. I also confirm the efficiency - besides the fact that it is completely free - of the COMODO Time Machine solution, as well as the simplicity in use, especially for those who run windows 7. It works unexpectedly well and does its job without any errors and very fast! Stop thinking, you practically don't even need a tutorial, because its simplicity in use makes it an indispensable asset in the arsenal of those who want a quick and stable solution for back-up! So efficient that I can say that it outperforms even Acronis True Image and Paragon Backup & Recovery ™ 10 Free Edition.

      Hello Razvan.

      When you use System Restore?
      We can use when for example you want to install a software, which we are not sure, or maybe a game which just are not sure, or we can use it before making risky settings or changes to your operating system or files located on the OS partition.
      Before you start to install something that you know is risky and you could ruin your operating system, make a Restore Point

      if no live CD works, it means that the problem is not the hdd… CDs played in high school mode like Puppy run from the CD and the "action" takes place in RAM not on the HDD. Try it with an Ubuntu, it has the option to run without modifying anything on your pc, you can download it from ubuntu.ro, if you don't want one either, you clearly have problems with RAM, if you have 2 RAMs remove one of they leave the other one and try to boot again if it still doesn't work, put it back in and take out the other one… until you find out which memory was to blame…

  31. Giuseppe said

    Adrian thank you so much but it is not to blame is hdd ram that runs bart on but when I give the overall commander of the partition and gives me and error if you try to ba pappy linux hangs when trying hdd I thought how could I fix sal What should I do sal band? or do not know orcum yum preorder a new hdd I wanted even save files

      Look for Hiren Boot CD, boot with it and it also has a hard drive utility called HDD Regenerator. Hiren Boot CD is an ISO image full of software for recovery, testing, "repair"…

How do?

    • Unfortunately I do not think you can do something with those CDs. Recovery CDs are useful when the OS does not start or encounter various errors. Often manufacturers put a hidden system partition with which to reinstall the operating system. While it if you said you changed the HDD not think yourself help you those CDs. You tutorial here on the site about how to install Windows Vista. Have tutorial about how to make a USB stick bootable CD or DVD with Windows (XP / Vista / 7 / 8.1). You tutorials on Windows 7 and 8.1 Enterprise (versions of Windows 7 and 8.1 90 days that come with testing of the system. For that you can make updates, everything is legal.)

  55. The tutorial goes smoothly. If you say that the other tutorials go trying to empty the browser cache or restore it to default settings. If the other tutorials you've watched are newer 8 months may not have flash player installed. Chrome and IE come with Flash pre-installed in Firefox and Opera tim you have to install it yourself.

  56. I always read your tutorials now I realize that I did not make any comments - I personally congratulate all those who are struggling another word I do not find now but no problem - the idea was that I am satisfied with the work done for novices and I am not alone do not comment after watching but we have to - we apologize so we do many take and not thank you - I congratulate you once again for your work

    Hello I have a problem with toshiba satellite laptopu not want to start on the windows xp ie show me the boot inni not know what to do

  61. Hello everybody!

    What is different between:
    1) System Restore done manually/automatically (by Windows 10), with the help of which the system can be restored with all the programs installed at a previous date "in time" and
    2) 2) System Restore done on a USB?
    Why doesn't it work the same way?

    I ask because:
    In July 2020 I installed Windows 10 on a newly configured PC, after which I installed various programs that I use almost daily. For 3 months, I regularly set up system restore points before installing anything new. Only in October 2020, however, I decided to create a recovery drive on a USB. After the recovery unit has been created, it has approx. 6 GB occupied by 32 GB as the USB Stick has.
    In January 2021 I had some complaints about the operation of the system, so I said I would try to use the System Restore feature in Windows 10. Because it deletes older restore points (whether they were created automatically by the system or manually by user), I thought I would try to restore from the USB on which I had saved the restore point.
    Unfortunately, from what I read on Google it seems that this USB only helps the system to boot again if the files have been corrupted but will not restore the system with all programs exactly as it was when I made that USB for Restore.
    Is this true? Will the only utility of that USB be if the stability of the system is affected / Windows has operating errors / Boot?

    When I created that USB Stick, I thought that in this way I would save on it, the last restore point (or several of those existing until then), and if I ever need and access system restore, then, the points on the USB will be visible and I will be able to choose from several restore points…
    How is it really?

    Thank you in advance
