Windows XP System Recovery Full Raiders

1. What is System Recovery?

With Windows XP system Recovery, users (system administrators and owners) can restore a machine to a previous state when they encounter problems. The system Recovery feature automatically monitors system file changes and changes to certain application files, recording or storing the state before the change. With system Recovery, users no longer have to consider saving snapshots for the system because it automatically creates easily identifiable restore points that allow the user to restore the system to a previous state. Restore points are created when significant system events occur (for example, when an application or driver is installed), and are also created on a regular (daily) basis. In addition, users can create and name their own restore points at any time.

Which versions of 2.Windows have system recovery capabilities?

Windows Me and Windows XP (Home Edition and Professional Edition). The following questions and answers are mainly for Windows XP.

3. What is the difference between system recovery and file backup?

System Recovery monitors only a set of core system files and certain types of application files (such as files with a suffix of exe or DLL), records the state of those files prior to the change, and the backup utility backs up the user's personal data files to ensure that a secure copy is stored on a local disk or other media. System recovery does not monitor or recover changes to personal data files (for example, documents, graphics, e-mail, and so on). The system data contained in the restore point of the System Restore can only be restored over a period of time, and backups made by the Backup tool may be restored at any time.

4. Does the System Restore require the user to turn on?

No need. Windows XP system Recovery is automatically turned on, but requires at least 200M of available hard disk space. If the hard drive does not have 200M of free space, system recovery will automatically be disabled, and will automatically open once enough space has been available. By default, the system restores up to 12% of the hard disk space, and its "Automatic Restore point space management" clears the oldest restore points, frees up space, and maintains the rolling security of the system recovery.

5. Does system recovery degrade system performance?

No. System recovery does not have a significant impact on system performance when monitoring the operating state of the systems. Creating a restore point is a very fast process, usually in just a few seconds. Periodic system State checks (the default is once every 24 hours) are also performed only during system idle time, without interfering with the operation of any user program.

6. Who has the right to use system recovery?

Only users with administrator privileges can use System recovery to restore past system State, or adjust system recovery parameter settings. However, the creation of a restore point is independent of whether the administrator is logged on. For example, system recovery will still create system checkpoints and event-driven checkpoints when other users who are not administrators use the machine, but the user cannot use the Restore feature, and only users with administrator privileges have permission to restore machine status.

7. Does System Restore protect user personal data files such as Word documents and e-mail?

No. System recovery does not monitor changes to user personal data files, such as documents, graphics, e-mail, and so on, and cannot recover these files.

8. What files are monitored by system recovery?

System Recovery only monitors a set of core system files and certain types of application files (such as file suffixes EXE and DLL) to record the state of these files before the system changes. See all protected file types, refer to the "monitored file suffix" in the Platform SDK System Recovery section.

9. How does system recovery handle the password problem?

Password not recovered:

Windows XP password and password issues prompt does not recover. This is to prevent the restore point to include a user has not been remembered the old password, causing confusion to the user caused inconvenience.
