Back-up

[HK PSG1 0]

Sorry...asyik bertanya je...

selalunya bila aku install apa2 software dan baru ni aku install SP2 akan keluar dialog box meminta supaya backup fail sistem dulu.

apa maksud nya dan apa step utk backup fail sistem ni. sebelum ni aku tak pernah buat (main belasah je ) sebab tak tahu...

[mus3na 5]

backup file system, ade banyak maksud, tapi dalam context ni, backup tu bermaksub creating restore point.

contoh, katakanla kau nak upgrade driver.

1) kau buat restore point, lepastu baru upgrade. than restart and kau dapat bsod. so, solution kau maybe masuk safemode and uninstall driver tu. adeketikanya, uninstall driver tu tak kan solve problems, or pada situasi yg mana kau tak pasti ape application yg menyebabkan bsod. disinilah restore point berguna. dia akan revert system files and setting ke point yg kau dah bina sebelum ni (user kena pilih manually sekiranya mereka ade lebih dari 1 restore points).

2) kalau takde restore point, maybe kau akan end up dengan reinstall windows.

Tak per ... Putra.Com nie memang untuk bertanya.

Back up tuh maksudnyer simpan fail sebelum yang asal (Lebih kurang ler).

Jadik kalau lepas install tuh tetiba jer ko rase benci atau tak puas ati ngan SP2 tuh... ko boleh recover balik sistem atau data yang asal.

Cara back up... ikut je ape yang dia suruh. Atau penjelasan lanjutan mita Power ngan mus3na jelaskan kat sini.

Alhamdulillah ..restore point aku dah faham dan aku selalu updatekan selepas aku update A/Virus dan win update. dan aku buangkan restore point yg tak diperlukan lagi dgn Disk Cleanup (betul ke aku buat tu ?)

Tapi lepas aku install SP2 baru ni restore point yg lama turut hilang. camana tu ? tak apa ke ?

ada apa2 nasihat...

Tu expected behaviour.

mus3na...makna nya tak apa2 le ya. sebenarnya aku pun tak tahu yg restore point tu backup sistem. aku cuma nak buang auto restore system point yg dah banyak sangat sampai melembab kan PC. itu pun aku baca dari majalah.

selain restore point ada ke cara lain utk backup sistem, untuk tambahkan pengetahuan.

camana nak backup tuh...? kat mana default dia simpan restore point tu? folder temp ke?

pastu camna nak restore balik?

kalau bole cik must3na bagi syntax sekali baru besh.....

[mus3na 5]

userun, kau click start button than click HELP AND SUPPORT. lepas tu type SYSTEM RESTORE and click search.

semua pasal system restore, dari camana nak pakai sampai syntax dia microsoft dah letak dalam tu. rerajin la membaca.

backup ade banyak cara, system restore 1, than windows juga ade utility untuk backup, or kau leh try third party software. kat internet tu ade beribu software untuk backup, dan yg paling famouse Norton Ghost. But jangan tanye aku ape2 pasal norton nye product sebab aku tak support norton.

mus3na..saya ikut step tu tak keluar apa2. sebelum ni saya tak pernah gunakan help and support.

apa saya perlu buat ?

To create a Restore Point

Access the System Restore Wizard through Help and Support Center.

Click Create a restore point, and then click Next.

In the Restore point description box, type a name to identify this restore point. System Restore automatically adds to this name the date and time that this Restore Point is created.

To finish creating this restore point, click Create.

To cancel restore point creation and return to the Welcome to System Restore screen, click Back.

To cancel restore point creation and exit the System Restore Wizard, click Cancel.

Notes

To access the System Restore Wizard, click Start, and then click Help and Support. Click Performance and Maintenance, click Using System Restore to undo changes, and then click Run the System Restore Wizard.

Creating a restore point can be useful any time you anticipate making changes to your computer that are risky or might make your computer unstable.

To view or to return to this restore point, from the Welcome to System Restore screen of the System Restore Wizard select Restore my computer to an earlier time. Then select the date when the restore point was created from the calendar in the Select a Restore Point screen. All of the restore points that were created on the selected date are listed by name in the list box to the right of the calendar.

To undo the last restoration

Access System Restore through Help and Support.

Click Undo my last restoration. Save all files and close all programs, and then click Next.

Notes

To access the System Restore Wizard, click Start, and then click Help and Support. Click Performance and Maintenance, click Using System Restore to undo changes, and then click Run the System Restore Wizard.

If you want to undo an earlier restoration, click Restore my computer to an earlier time in the Welcome to System Restore screen, and then select the relevant restore operation restore point listed in the System Restore Wizard.

How the System Restore Tool Handles Hard-Disk Space Usage

Applies To

This article was previously published under Q300044

SUMMARY

This articles describes how the System Restore tool handles hard-disk space usage, particularly where low disk-space issues are concerned.

MORE INFORMATION

By default, System Restore is enabled on all hard-disk partitions upon the completion of Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional Setup. However, after installation of the operating system, System Restore is automatically suspended when there is less than 200 megabytes (MB) of free hard-disk space on the system drive. The service automatically resumes its monitoring activities at the next system idle time -- as soon as 200 MB of hard-disk space is available. The same behavior is expected after Windows XP installation if any of the partitions become low on available hard-disk space.

Additionally, if disk-space use encroaches on the data store size, with non-monitored files for example, System Restore always yields its data store space to the system. This is because the data store size is not a reserved space and is always calculated as effective size. For example, if the data store size is configured to 500 MB, of which 200 MB is already used, and the current free hard-disk space is only 150 MB, the effective size is 350 MB (200 + 150), not 500 MB. In other words, the data store size is always limited by the available free hard-disk space. Specifically, note the following conditions:

When a given hard disk has less than 80 MB of remaining free disk space, System Restore purges the data store down to 75 percent of its size, or purges at least one restore point (this is the case if the data store is already below 75 percent). System Restore does not stop restore point creation. It continues to create idle time check points as time demands, and keeps purging on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis, as space demands.

When a disk has less than 50 MB of remaining free disk space, System Restore purges the data store completely and suspends System Restore on all drives (consistent freeze) until the minimum disk space (200 MB) is created again. Then, System Restore restarts monitoring.

NOTE: 200 MB is required on the system drive only.

If any disk is suspended, System Restore is suspended on all disks. If you check the System Restore Properties user interface (UI), it shows the drives as suspended. The reason for this behavior is that, if System Restore performs an independent suspension (freeze), and then you perform a restore, you would restore some drives but not others if the end user did not explicitly disable those drives. This scenario would place the system in a very inconsistent state, especially if you are installing programs on a non-system drive. If you try to start System Restore when it is in the suspended state, you receive the following warning message:

System Restore is suspended on Drive drive letter because there is not enough disk space available. To restart System Restore, free at least 200 MB of disk space. Do you want to start Disk Cleanup to free more disk space now?

When the computer begins to get low on disk space, you receive a pop-out balloon warning in the System Tray (Systray), alerting you that your computer is running low, or is out of, disk space, as the thresholds are approached (which are 200 MB, 80 MB, and 50 MB, respectively). If you click the balloon, the Disk CleanUp utility (DCU) is automatically started in an attempt to free up additional disk space. If the space freed is not sufficient, you receive one of the warning messages listed in the following sections of this article. At that point, you have the opportunity to start the Add/Remove Programs utility to uninstall some programs and create more space on the hard disk.

You receive "low disk space" warning messages from Disk Cleanup when your disks become low on space and System Restore protection is at risk. If you choose to ignore the messages at the 200 MB threshold and become critically low on disk space, you will continue to receive the messages and warning messages at approximately 80 MB and 50 MB of free disk space.

On non-system drives, you receive the warning, but not the additional warnings, after starting DCU.

Balloon Messages

You will receive various balloon messages regarding disk space. These include the following.

At 200 MB of free disk space:

Low Disk Space

You are running out of disk space on Local Disk (drive letter). To free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click here...

At 80 MB and 50 MB of remaining free disk space:

Low Disk Space

You are running very low on disk space on Local Disk (drive letter). To free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click here...

Warning Messages

You will receive various warning messages regarding disk space. These include the following.

At 200-MB threshold of free disk space:

Your Windows drive has only (amount MB) of free disk space available.

It is recommended to have at least a minimum of 200 MB free on your Windows drive to ensure system reliability. You can free even more disk space by removing programs that you do not use.

Would you like to do that now?

At 80-MB threshold of free disk space:

Your Windows Drive has only (amount MB) of free disk space available. This is a critically low amount of disk space. If you do not free at least 200 MB, on this drive, System Restore may not be able to track or undo harmful changes to your computer. You can free even more disk space by removing programs that you do not use. Would you like to do that now?

Note If the system reaches less than 80 MB of free hard-disk space, and you try to start System Restore, you receive the following message:

System Restore

You do not have sufficient free disk space on the system drive (drive letter:\) to perform a restore. Please free at least 80 MB of disk space on this drive.

Do you want to start Disk Cleanup to free more disk space now?

At the 50-MB threshold of free disk space:

Your Windows Drive has only (amount MB) of free disk space available. This is a critically low amount of disk space. System Restore has suspended tracking changes to your computer because there is not enough disk space available. This means that System Restore will not be able to undo harmful changes if they occur. To reactivate System Restore, free at least 200 MB of disk space. You can free even more disk space by removing programs that you do not use.

Would you like to do that now?

Note If you ignore the warning, the next time that you try to start System Restore, you receive the following message:

System Restore is suspended because there is not enough disk space available on the system drive (drive letter). To restart System Restore, ensure that at least 200 MB of free disk space are available on this drive.

Do you want to start Disk Cleanup to free more disk space now?

T/kasih mus3na..

saya masih tak boleh nak buka Help and Support. tapi sistem/perisian lain tak ada masaalah..ok. tak apa ke cam tu ?

bagi saya kalau tak menyebabkan masaalah kemudian hari tak apa, saya pun sebelum ni memang tak penah gunakan help & support

komen sikit...

Why you cannot open those Help And Support section???.Ar you disable it service components...under windows xp.At control panel...Check administrative tools --> services -->search for Help and Support --> set to automatic or manual (but don't disable if you are really depend on it)..he..he..

[HK PSG1 0]

Mintak maaf...

rupa2nya masaalah tu berpunca kerana saya menggunakan speederXP. bila saya setkan default, ok boleh buka help and support

saya selalu gunakan speederXP sebab pc saya lembab (Celeron 1.1).
