  1. Lost restore point for backuped files


    I have a lot of files that were backed up with microsofts own backup and restore function.Now when I reinstalled win10 the system can't find any restore points for theese files.Windows added a string to the filenames whenever it was starting a new backup session.The string consists of a date/time-stamp within the parentheses. like : 2020_12_08 16_24_17 UTCDoes anyone recognize this and have a solution?One of the folders in the same parentfolder contains a lot of numbered folders with php-files I made separate backups of two discs. C:\ and E:\I don't know what the folder [$OF]

    :)

    Never More Than 3 System Restore Points

    You are going to be extremely disappointed if you believe that because that is NOT the point (purpose) of a restore point.

    I honestly suggest you research File History, and turn it on if you want previous versions of your files!!!

  3. Difference Between File History, Backup and Restore, System Image, and System Protection (Restore Points)

    These feature names itself gives you a hint on their functionality.

    File History: It is the complete record of changes made to a file. You can roll back changes and get an older copy of a file.

    It is more useful, if your accidently deleted a file or it turned to garbage. You can simple use File History to restore the file.

    Backup and Restore: As the name suggests, it is useful to create a system back and restore from a backup already created.

    System Image: It is a clone of your C drive in a .vdi (virtual disk file), stored on another drive.

    A system image can only be used to reimage the same computer on which it was created.

    Tip: You can extract individual files from a System Image by mounting the .vdi with Explorer.

    System Restore Point: It is a backup of all your Settings, apps and some other utilities required by Windows.

    It is recommended to create a restore point before editing registry, installing a new software, etc.

    How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

    Windows 10 64-bit.
    When I click "show more restore points" in System Restore I see a bunch of old "system image restore points" that were deleted in past and do not correspond to any currently active restore points. Clicking any of these old restore points, I simply get an error message saying they could not be found, and to select another restore point instead.I would like to delete these restore points listings but have been unable to do so.
    So far, I have tried steps mentioned below without any luck :

    Disk Cleanup through (CLost restore point for backuped files :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CLost restore point for backuped files :)
    Disk Space Usage to minimum (slider button all the way to the left then 'Delete all restore points for this drive'),
    Delete all shown Restore points in CCleaner (the problem ones do not show here),
    Reset Windows Backup to Default in Windows 10 with 'Reset_Windows_Backup.bat' utility.

    Any suggestions highly welcome.
