Restoring system restore points from backup file

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I lost my system restore (separate thread). Now I want to recover the last
set of SR files from my backup. Do you know which files I need to recover -
I am using XP Home SP2.

There seems to be a directory C:\System Volume
Information\_restore{B37680B2-BA0A-4E5D-BF30-83E44C588624}

Is this the right place? If so, please tell me which files I need to
recover?

Thanks

Broooz

Restore points can't be restored from backup (unless you restore a complete
image of your system partition).

You can't.
If you need System Restore, you will need to find a different solution
instead.

If you would place those files back in, SR would not be able to use
them...but you could try.

That won't work either.
