What should I do if the system restore point is not working?

We will make backups for the system, because sometimes there are errors, you can restore, but recently many users have found some problems with the system restore point, the restore point of the Windows operating system does not work if restored, you know What is the reason? Please see our introduction below.

The possible causes of a restore point failure are as follows:

There is too little free disk space in the partition being monitored by System Recovery. Make sure that the restore process includes  System Restore  creating a restore point before the restore operation so that the user can undo the restore process. If you are experiencing a restore failure, make sure that there is enough free disk space in the partition that is being monitored by "System Restore".

During the restore process, if the files that will be replaced, moved, or deleted are locked by the system or some other application, the restore process will fail. This problem has been solved: Windows XP Service Pack 1 is resolved.

There may be a wrong restore point due to the inconsistency between the file entries in the "System Restore" file change log and the "system restore" or the actual backup or trace file entries.

The computer does not shut down gracefully when you add files to be tracked to the "System Restore" file to the "System Restore" file change log. During a file being copied or moved to a restore point directory or to another location on the system, a power outage or an improper shutdown can disrupt the process, causing inconsistencies in the change log. Similarly, there is a file entry in the change log, but the file itself is corrupted or missing.

Changes have been made to files in other operating systems (with dual operating systems). For example, changes have been made to critical applications or system files, or a <system restore" tracked file has been moved from one location to another and recorded to another operating system. Since “system restore" cannot coordinate this change, there will be inconsistencies.

The file tracked by the "System Restore" in the restore point on the removable drive was changed and the drive was connected to another computer. The reason is the same as above, & ldquo; System Restore & rdquo; can not coordinate this change. It's important to remember that all restore points are interrelated, so any restore points that were created before a lost or incorrect restore point will be useless.

Now that the problem of the restore point has been solved, is it a relief? If you usually use this function, if you have a problem, you can analyze the reason like this and hope to help everyone.
