System Volume Information

Re: System Volume Information

 

I agree with Bill. I have System Restore ON but only for the C-Partition.

I admit though, I've never found the System Restore to be to helpful. But

for some it is. I also use ERUNT and Acronis TrueImage for the big jobs.

If your partition is NTFS, ERUNT maybe hard to see if you boot in DOS mode

unless you have an NTFSReader on your boot disk.

 

So, lots to consider.

The System Volume Information folder itself will not go away, although

if SR is turned off, it will have no files and no folders within it.
