Create a Restore point
Anyone know how to automatically create a restore point in Windows 8
from a batch file?? I've tried the visual basic "create-restore" that Google found ... tried to alter it for windows 8, but it appears not to work.

I use QRM (Quick Restore Maker): http://www.thewindowsclub.com/create-a-system-restore-point-in-1-click-with-quick-restore-maker I have it set in Task Scheduler to run every other day. If there's one fault I find with it, I haven't figured out how to have it close automatically when done. Other than that, no complaints, and it does make viable restore points. -- SC Tom

There's a Powershell cmdlet to create a restore point but you can only create one restore point per 24 hours. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../hh849822.aspx This guy has cracked it for Windows 8 but it's an exe file: http://www.osattack.com/utilities/up...ows-8-support/ If you download the package there is a command line exe file, TRPC.exe You can run that from a batch file using the example on the page. You can use the same name each time and it still works ok. They are differentiated by the time and date. (To check on restore points I use CCleaner to list/delete them.)

I edited my current task to use the TRPC bat I created, let it create a restore point, then restored it, and all went well. -- SC Tom

I've suggested to the author of Restore Point Creator that he incorporates the ability to list / delete the current restore points, like Ccleaner does. :-)

I've suggested to the author of Restore Point Creator that he incorporates the ability to list / delete the current restore points, like Ccleaner does. :-) Of course, if MS hadn't changed SR to the point of only creating save points when there's a Windows update, or other "major" software change, no one would have noticed the PowerShell problem. I don't need one every day like XP created (hopefully I won't need one at all), but I'd like to have more than once a month when updates come out, or maybe twice a month if MS throws an odd security update or two in the mix. The Windows Club has a Restore Point Manager http://www.thewindowsclub.com/system-restore-manager-for-windows-released that lets you create and delete points manually, but it only works in Win7, not Win8 yet (I don't know if he's working on an update any more). But since CC is easy enough to use, I'll stick with it. My Win8 laptop runs well with no errors or lock-ups; don't want to rock the boat too much with extra stuff :-) -- SC Tom

If you create the batch file like on the site, then put a shortcut to it in the "All Users" Startup folder, run with Admin privileges, it works fine. I like Task Scheduler better anyhow since I don't feel the need to use all my allocated space for Daily Restore Points; every other day is fine for me, and that may a bit too often, too. But that's how I have it set, using 3% of my HDD for the points. It's not eating into my available HDD space, so . . . -- SC Tom

Just out of interest, why do you need a system restore point to be made at every boot up? If it's to back up the registry there better ways of doing it, like Erunt for example.

But I don't reload every day. I make use of "Hibernate". The idea is that when I REALLY want or need to do a reload, then an automatic restore point is created.

Control Panel System & Security System System Protection System Restore follow the boxes (restore points found here) I find it typically stores 3, maybe 4, restore points. I want to store the past 10-12.

If you type in System Restore from your start screen, "Create a restore point" comes up. Click on it, then on System Restore, and there are all your restore points. Or, from Run, type in rstrui and press Enter. Brings it right up. (I boot to desktop, not FKA-Metro.) -- SC Tom
