I like to backup a certain restore date to a DVD disk or to another drive.
Can this be done, if so where is the file with the restore name I gave it
located?
 
First of all "Restore" is that part of Vista that "saves" settings at a
preset point in time
Restore is also a function under the "backup" program.
Restore points created by "Restore" cannot be copied
Backup can create a backup of your HD/programs/files and these can be saved
toa CD/DVD and then restored when needed.

Hi,

You can't, and even if you could you wouldn't be able to restore that date.
If you want to preserve the system "as is" for a specific time, you should
look into imaging software.

Peter, I been playing with PC's since the mid 70's. When you had to write
your programs in DOS. I completely understand how the backup works. I been
doing it for yrs & yrs, for work/home. I was just curious how it saved it to
disk. I have more backups of my system, just in case.
 
Thanks Rick, just curious.

I don't think you can. System restore points are volume shadow copy backup
in Vista. You can get familiar with how it works in Vista (different from
the XP registry snapshots) here. If Jill Zoeller [MSFT] or someone else
knows a way to "backup" a particular restore point, then I'd welcome seeing
it. Why not just make timely backups using backup in Vista (Charley Russell
is doing a web cast on it tomorrow and the webcast will be archived):

The link is here at from Jill Zoeller's blog "The Filing Cabinet":

You can use Complete PC Backup to make an image of your system at the
date/time you want. You are given the choice to save the backup to another
partition or DVD when you create it.
 
Thanks Chad. I was just looking to see how the file system worked using
backup. This blog told me what I wanted to know.
