Hi,

This would indicate the restore point older than second day is corrupt. When a restore
point becomes corrupt it will fail, along with all previous restore points. The only
solution is to delete the corrupted restore points. I would suggest using Disk Cleanup to
do so. All restore point will be removed except the most recent.
