Hi Shane
I found this very interesting and perhaps could be of some help :thinking:
--- Quote ---Lost system restore points in Windows are a common complaint with people using disk defragmenters on machines running Vista and later Windows versions. What happens is the defrag operation moves files around causing the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to create snapshots that overwrite older ones and cause restore points to get deleted. If you have VSS enabled on your hard drive, or if you are not sure if you do, the first thing you should do after installing Auslogics Disk Defrag is go to Program Settings - Algorithms and set the program to defragment in VSS-compatible mode. This prevents excessive growth of the VSS storage area and ensures that your system restore points will remain intact.
Not all defraggers have this option, so be sure to never use the ones that don't if you have VSS enabled.

Good find, but it looks like that option is only for that program. But it would explain some of the problems people have. I wonder if the fix for that is to just delete old volume snap shots?

Erm sorry Shane I really don't know if it's just a fix for "old volume snapshots"
but hey I just downloaded your updated v2.6.0 it's looking better with your every update
Please continue with your constant daily hard work making Tweaking work better and better
I think this program really is growing and going from strength to strength
it's a darn nuisance though....if only that darn System Restore problem could be sorted eh....
never mind though I'm sure you'll conquer this minor glitch and not give up with it
Cheers Shane

Thanks :-) The volume snapshots have to do with VSS or the volume shadow copy. When system restore does or tries to do a backup it uses the VSS to do it. Well if the VSS has trouble it will fail. The VSS makes snaps shots of the files on the system so backup programs can copy them. Sometimes old snap shots get in the way and make trouble. So there is a way in the cmd.exe to tell VSS to remove all old snap shots and sometimes that can help free up the problem.
