Create System Restore Point in Windows 11 Tutorial

This tutorial will show you how to manually create a restore point in Windows 11. Turning on system protection for a drive allows System Restore to include the drive when restore points are created so you can undo undesired system changes by reverting to a previous point in time. System...
www.elevenforum.com www.elevenforum.com

So I created the task like this:
1703008198930.png

arguments are: Checkpoint-Computer -Description "Restore Point" -RestorePointType "MODIFY_SETTINGS"

Double check to make sure you set the System Restore Point Creation Frequency to "0" to allow unlimited creation up to your max size.

How I know the average size of a single restore point ?

Is there a way not to display the progress of create system restore point ?
Click to expand...
I don't think the task shows anything. The scheduled task just runs to create the restore point in the background if I remember correctly.

The size of a restore point will vary, so you'll have to do some testing and playing with the max size to see how many restore points you end up with compared to how much of the max size you used.

I'm not sure you can stop the progress window, but is should automatically close soon afterwards.

There is a little script, that forces (creates) a new Restore Point. If someone were to put that script in their "Startup" folder, then they would get a new restore point every time the PC is booted up.
Currently, I incorporate that little fix into every new Windows install (Setup).
By setting the max size of the space that restore points take up, one can thus limit the number of restore points that are saved on the HD.
And, I've always got a Fresh Restore Point when I need one.
Windows and its Startup folder takes care of the scheduling.

Merry Christmas,
TM :cool:
PS: I'll attach that script for creating a restore point, in Windows 11.

What is the difference between this:
Create System Restore Point in Windows 11 Tutorial

versus this:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Backup and Restore (Windows 7)

I have been using the latter for a number of years and was unacquainted with the former. Some advantage to the former?

I am able to set an scheduled/automatic backup with the 'Windows 7" route.
