I have a new Dell Inspiron laptop, bought in March. I had another problem and the tech couldn't find system restore.
I did a complete restore of my system, configured system restore, and it seemed to work. But then I discovered after a half hour get the message there are no restore points.
I tried the following:
, ran DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Went to 100% and got message the operation completed successfully
Then ran sfc /scannow
Got following result:
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
Created anther resource point which vanished in an hour or so.
3:00 turned system restore off and on again raised space to10%
created another restore point
3:29 checked and it was gone. Less than a half hour
4:00 ran services.msc , checked volume shadow copy
it was running, but changed the startup type to automatic
created restore point at 4:19
in two hours it was gone again.
Can anyone offer any advice ?
Dell has pretty much given up suggesting a reinstall of the OS and wipe out of my data.
Years ago at work we used to use Acronis. Does anyone know if that could provide the function of system restore on a external drive ?
I don't need data back up. I'm really happy with Carbonite.
I'd really appreciate any advice or help.
