I don't think Windows even mentions that it is using NTFS.
yes, it does (in disk properties)
I meant while partitioning and formatting.... ;-?.
This means the shadow volume copy thing is available for 99.99% of Windows users these days on their main disk at least, and it is also turned on by default for the main disk.
no it's off by default and not that easy to find (search for "restore")
"System protection is turned on by default on the hard disk that Windows is installed on." From a Microsoft website, and also my recollection. No, you're wrong, and it is turned on by default. I don't get why you people are making this into a point of discussion.
No point to go into that, it is a base feature and it works as intended
it's an old feature and I now remember why I don't use it.
Windows system, basically, do not separate root and home disks (partitions are disks for windows), so a restore point may also include users data.
Actually it separates user and program files based mostly on extension. Any file, apparently, that has an extension that is recognised as belonging to a document, is skipped by the whole system restore thing. A system restore will not be able to recover your files, conversely, it will also not overwrite them when you do it. This only works for "document" files. The thing is only meant for returning Windows to a working state.
I spent (at the time) much time working, often, before noticing a problem and I don't want to lose my work made since the last restore point
no idea if it's still relevant.
Not sure if it was ever different. Can't tell, I didn't know back then. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
