Unable to create a restore point

tried to use a restore piont but none was found then tried to create one but every time it says no restore piont found,did this due to black screen after log in.

metwinger,
Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I do not know what the problem might be -- the following instructions might be helpful:
Create a Restore Point: Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
Idea:
See the Document (above):
At number 3 where it says "
"Select a disk to store the restore point system files from the list, usually (C, and then click Create."
In Figure 3 Creating a restore point
Under: Protection Settings
NOTE:
It might help if you click on your Available Drive (for example, your "C" drive that is "On) and highlight the drive -- THEN click to Create the Restore Point.

Creating System Restore Points in Windows Server 2012

Searching for "Create a restore point" on Windows Server 2012, brings up a link that when clicked takes you to System Properties. Once there, there is no System Protection tab or option to create a system restore point. Windows Server Backup
is installed and functioning.
Is this feature available in Windows Server 2012? Was it replaced with Shadow Copies for Shared Folders?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

HI,
To create a system restore point, run msconfig.exe, that will launch a UI, click the tools tab, select system restore, that should invoke a UI which asks if you want to restore to an earlier version or do you want to create a new restore point. I clicked
"create a new restore point" The problem that I ran into is that when I click that button is I receive the error: can't find "C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe". That's the .exe which supports the "Create / restore point' processes. I
posted a question about the missing .exe on the windows > windows 8.1 > Repair and recovery forum and was told to post it here. :>) The subject title of that post is "rstrui.exe Create a system restore point on windows server 8 Standard".
That post documents the steps that I followed trying to create a system restore point. (FYI: I'm not trying to backup any drives. I know what a system restore point is and what backup is. They are two different animals). I want to create a restore
point prior in order to prep for installing an App. So, If a problem occurs; the registry keys and app files can be backed out to some extent. BTW: Create system restore point on windows 8.1does work perfectly well, there's a different UI. I just didn't
know where to post the initial problem.regards,Steve

MSE Creates A Restore Point Every Time It Updates

MSE creates a redundant restore point every time it updates.
Is there any way to stop this from happening without
disabling the system from creating restore points entirely?
Thanks.

Thanks.
The HD is 500GB. I think by default 2% or 10GB is reserved for restore points. Once the limit is reached the restore points are overwritten - last in, first out. I have a preferred restore point established that I'd like to be preserved.
My concern is the way in which Windows Update is used to update MSE definitions. Everytime (daily) MSE AV definitions are D/L it creates another restore point. Eventually it will overwrite the restore point I established. I guess I can always remove the restore points MSE creates using CCleaner or use a different AV program but it's something that should have been addressed by MS. They should have provided users with the option of not having MSE create restore points. I know I can always turn the feature off altogether and create restore points manually but there are times when having a restore point created automatically can come in handy - like when installing a program for example.
Aside from this issue I've also noticed other little annoyances throughout the Windows 7 / 64bit - Home Premium OS.
I'm sure I'll discover more annoyances with this OS over time.

If I create a restore point will I have the old sound driver working

I got this notice:
"Dear Customer,
You can enjoy improved sound when you use an updated sound driver on the pre-installed sound system
on your notebook.
To install the updated sound driver follow the steps below:
1. Click Start and click Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel Home view, click Uninstall a program
3. Select Realtek High Definition Audio Driver and uninstall the driver by following the instructions on
the screen.
4. Download the updated driver from the Toshiba website
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/sound-20080305155003.zip
5. Unpack the downloaded driver.
6. Change to the driver folder and double click the Setup.exe to start the installation.
7. Follow the instructions on the screen."
May I ask
If I create a restore point before ding this, if it all goes wrong will I be able to system restore and have the old sound driver working?
Is the driver folder found in Device Manager and Sound, Video and Game Controllers?
Many thanks.
Peter

Hi Peter,
Yes, if you would create the restore point before you will perform the driver installation then you will be able to restore the system to the early time point and you will get the old sound driver back on you system.
I think this is a good idea to create the restore point.
Bye

Create guaranteed restore point in oracle 10g RAC ASM

Hi DBAs,
In our production environment we have 2 node master RAC database (Oracle 10.2.0.5) (node1 name=master1 and node2 name=master2)
for which there is going to be a release tonight so want to create a guaranteed restore point for this RAC database.
I have googled many and found some ways, but before I implement it wanted a reviews from experts here.
Note: We already have db_recovery_file_dest set up in ASM...db_flashback_retention_target=1440 and db_recovery_file_dest_size=200GB with arch mode ON.
The steps are
STOP the RAC Database on Both Nodes...
Node1:
$srvctl stop database -d
$Srvctl stop database –d master1
Node2:
$srvctl stop database -d
$Srvctl stop database –d master2
And now start one instance only in mount state:
On node1:
SQL> startup mount
Now enable flashback on Node1...
SQL> alter database flashback on;
SQL> alter database open;
SQL>CREATE RESTORE POINT before_upgrade GUARANTEE FLASHBACK DATABASE;
Now start the second instance…
$srvctl start instance -d -i
$srvctl start instance –d master1 –d master2
Please let me know if there is something needs to be rectified.
Regards,
Ritz

The steps look fine.
Presumably you've already checked to see if the database is in flashback mode and it isn't...hence you putting it into flashbac mode?
Probably just typos but it looks like you have interchanged database names and instance names in your commands....you have the following commands. The srvctl commnds can be run from any node (ie you do not have to run it on node1 to shutdown instance1 and node2 to shutdown instance2).
Node1:    srvctl stop database –d master1
Node2:    srvctl stop database –d master2
You would run either:
Any node:    srvctl stop database -d master (assuming you database name is master...this will shut down both instances)
OR shutdown each instance individually
Any node:    srvctl stop instance -d master -i master1
Any node:    srvctl stop instance -d master -i master2
Same commnds as above to start using "srvctl start"...the following start commands do not look right to me:
srvctl start instance -d -i
srvctl start instance –d master1 –d master2

Create a restore point fails with 0x81000101 error after replacing hard drives

I recent had a hard drive failure so, figuring that I may as well gain something for all of the work, I replaced both drives in my RAID 1 array (thereby doubling the drive space). I then restored from back up and all has appeared well for several months
now. Last week I started having trouble with RDC which led me to potential issues with my Intel RAID driver which finally led me to System Restore points. It turns out that they haven't been working for some time now and I've been unable to get
them started using any of the advice in the other discussions on this particular topic.
All of the necessary services should be running. I've also tried turning system protection off/on.
The new information that I provide is that when I first opened the System Protection tab, I found two entries for the C: drive. The first had protection turned off. The second, named OS, was listed as missing. After a couple of attempts
with the configuration, I ended up with one entry for OS (C:) with protection On. It still didn't work which led me to the forum and many failed attempts at getting this one feature working.
One of the other discussions mentioned the RestoreSystem log files. They are, of course, binary files but I was able to see that I'm getting something called SxRegReadDWORD4FAILED6 fairly soon followed later by a FAILED CSpp::_CreateSnapshotSet.
I'm hoping that somebody with the right tool and knowledge to actually read those files can help me get restore points working again.

Hi,
What is the full error messages? Like this?
The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x81000101) The creation of a shadow copy has timed out. Try this operation again.
If yes, then we might take a try with the method mentioned in the below blog:
Windows Server Backup failed to backup with error 0x81000101
Let us know the process.

Rstrui.exe Create a system restore point on windows server 8 standard

Hi,
Before making system changes, I need to create a system restore point on windows server 2008 Standard with SP2 installed., I found where to accomplish that via the UI, but the file isn't found when I search the C:\windows directory on the server.
The executable should be C:\windows\system32\rstrui.exe, unless it was changed for Server 2008. I have system protection turned on for the C: drive.This problem also exists on Windows server R2 enterprise with all updates applied.
I searched the install media (DVD) it wasn't there. I tried the full name (rstrui.exe) as well as truncated versions. I've searched on all of the applicable forums for rstrui.exe and "create system restore point".
Does someone know where I can get rstrui.exe for windows server 8. It's not available on windows server R2 enterprise or essentials either. If there is an alternative method of creating restore points on windows server 8, please point me in the
correct direction. Is it available in any of the variations of windows server 12. I have all of the updates installed when checking for how to create a system restore point or with searching for rstrui.exe. BTW, performing "system backups" or implementing
"previous versions" functionality work just fine.
Thank you in advance,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I replied the same question you posted earlier:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/68352496-2fe8-4320-8848-f22d0d1a6f6b/rstruiexe-missing-unable-to-create-restore-point-windows-server-8-std-r2?forum=windowsbackup
To me it seems that the function is removed in both Windows 2008 SP2 and Windows 2008 R2. Here is my original reply:
I did not find this file either on my new-installed Windows 2008 SP2 system. I assume it is retired in Windows Server 2008 and the function is replaced by Windows Server Backup. I cannot confirm why there is still an option in MSCONFIG which point to
rstrui.exe but I can find the file nowhere. Also this option is removed in Windows Server 2008 R2.
Here link a link for using Windows Server Backup to create system state backup as a restore point:

Visual Studio Update 2 hangs for 13 minutes on "Creating a system restore point..."

It appears that Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 hangs for a long period of time before it tries to create a system restore point. Should I create a Microsoft Connect issue for this?
Here is what I did:
I created a new Windows 8 x86 Virtual Machine using VirtualBox. I installed Visual Studio 2012 and Update 1 because Update 2 was not yet out. I came back 1 week later and tried to install Visual Studio Update 2.
When I ran the installer on the Virtual machine, it hung for seemingly 10 minutes at "Creating a system restore point..." I powered off the virtual machine and disabled system restore. I then ran with the /layout option on the host machine
so I could pre-download the files. Then I tried again.
Again, it hung. This time I let it go. It hung for exactly 13 minutes before it gave up and continued on to the install. The log file says this:
[0EBC:0F90][2013-04-18T12:39:36]: Apply begin
[0EBC:0F90][2013-04-18T12:39:36]: MUX: Apply Phase Begin
[0EBC:0F90][2013-04-18T12:39:36]: MUX: -----------------
[0EBC:0F90][2013-04-18T12:39:36]: MUX: Metrics: ShouldSendData=False
[0EBC:0F90][2013-04-18T12:39:36]: MUX: Free Disk Space before install: SystemDrive C:\ 32519413760 bytes AppDrive C:\ 32519413760 bytes
[01F4:0748][2013-04-18T12:52:34]: Creating a system restore point.
[01F4:0748][2013-04-18T12:52:34]: Could not create system restore point, error: 0x80070422. Continuing...
NOTE: Although it says "Creating a system restore point" at 12:52, it actually displayed the message on the screen at 12:39. That indicates that it was really doing something else during those 13 minutes, not creating the restore point.
That is corroborated by the fact that it took a long time regardless of system restore being on or off.
If no one has any information or explanation, I will create an issue on Microsoft Connect.

I have the same issue. Visual Studio 2013 Professional update 2 was not installed from Web installer. Rather I downloaded a trial version and now want to uninstall it. However, I let the uninstaller try to create a Restore Point all night while I slept.
Next day, not done. So I clicked cancel, and it then commenced to create a restore point for the cancel. I did let the cancel run for awhile but I rebooted.
I then researched something on how to disable the restore point security on my drive, but that did not deter Visual Studio from trying to protect me and it TRIES to create a restore point before uninstalling. Just hangs forever. I don't need a restore point
for an eval copy of VS, thank you very much. Perhaps a simple dialog ("Do you want to create a restore point?") would be helpful?
Update: turning off Windows Defender fixed the problem.

Cannot create a system restore point [service cannot be started in Safe Mode (0x8007043c)]"

Is there a solution to years old error message "Cannot create a system restore point [service cannot be started in Safe Mode (0x8007043c)]" I have been trying to create a restore point or image on an external hard drice, but I get the quoted message
and the system is NOT in safe mode. I have reviewed all the previous suggestions on this forum to no avail. Are there any new suggestions. My computer had Windows 7 installed and I have no source to re-load the OS. Ralph

Hi,
So actually you're not in safe mode (not black background, no "safe mode" on the left-bottom of the screen), right?
I think something is causing your PC thinking itself is in the safe mode, run sfc/scannow and chkdsk /f/r, check if the two tools can find any error.
Or perform a startup repair in recovery console, check the result

Can't create restore point

Hi,
I think I may off caused a problem if I ever have to recover my laptop which is a Satillite Pro L450D through changing settings in the system protection area in windows 7.
I was looking to create a restore point before I upgraded Windows 7 with service pack 1 and while in the create and restore area noticed that 3 drives were available to have system protection turned on but only 1 actually had system protection enabled? OS Install (C) did not have system protection enabled, and I think the recovery partition, WinRE (D) which was enabled to have system protection was the System disk, I am not 100% certain but sure the 3rd entry was my DVD drive, anyways what I did was I clicked to enable protection for the OS Install (C) drive and an error appeared stating that this was not possible, I clicked ok and when this error went off screen noticed that the drive was now enabled for system protection, but it was now also the system disk? and the 3rd drive seemed to of disappeared from the area where the drives available appear? I am a t a loss as to what has happened but feel the worst case scenario is that if I ever want to recover my system through the recovery options I may not be able to through changing system settings, any help on this matter will be appreciated, I did create the recovery disk when I first purchased the laptop before I did anything else so with a bit of luck I am hoping that this will be my get out of trouble card if I need to use or recover the system this way.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Xardas,
Thanks for the reply,
I had wanted to create a restore point in case of any errors after installing service pack one, my problem occured when I was attempting to make a restore point while in system protection, because system protection was not in operation on my C drive, the system would not allow me to create a restore point unless changing the settings, which I attempted to do...an error appeared and after reading recovery errors in this forum relised that because my recovery software was installed on drive D a system restore point was not really needed in case of any errors...but I had already changed the settings meaning that both the C drive and the D drive now have protection in place, which is different to how my laptop was setup with factory defaults,
I am hoping that because of this change that I have not corrupted any of the files needed to do a full format and HDD recovery if ever needed, I did create a toshiba recovery disc when I first purchased my laptop so hope that the files on this disc will be enough to perform the tasks needed.

Unable to create restore disk, or do a restore

I have a Compaq Presario CQ60-615DX Notebook PC
I am unable to create a restore disk, or even do a restore from with in the OS. It keeps telling me "Your computer does not have a recovery partition."
I looked in the drives list, and I can see the recovery partition there as clear as day, and can see that the data is still there as well. So I know I have it, now any one know how to fix this? Please lend a friend a helping hand here, and thank you in advanced

It sounds as if your Recovery partition is corrupted. You can order Recovery Media from your driver/software page.Usually less than $20, sometimes free when they can't be burned.

Problems with system restore points in Win 8.1 (keep increasing in size)

Hi,
I was sent here by Microsoft Support who seem to have no idea of the mechanics of System Restore and what could interfere with it. I've no idea where to post this, so I hope you can help in that.
I have the problem that my System Restore point (only a single point) keeps increasing rapidly in size from a few Mb to many Gb and even fills the C drive if I don't stop it. Setting a limit to the size doesn't help (in System Restore or VSS), as it ignores
it and increases the limit. I have tried all the usual (sfc, DISM, chkdsk, several antivirus and malware programs) with no success.
Obviously, I can turn off System Restore, but that isn't really something I want to do.

When you say "system backup", do you mean generation of system restore points or an actual backup? i don't use MSBackup.
Hi,
What I meant system backup is system backup feature that it would create restore point when you enable system backup automatically.
I made a test in our testing enviroment. limit restore point disk space usage to minize, create some restore point. When I create a seconde restore point, it would replace the former time point. The maxize disk space usage won't more than the limiation.
Therefore, please check the size of Restore Point in C:\System Volume Information if it's larger than system limiation.

Reset to previous RESTORE POINT only possible with FLASHBACK ?

Ok, I can create a Restore Point (in v10g) by a command like:
CREATE RESTORE POINT foobar;
Actually I expected a symmetric command which reverts the whole database back
with a command like
RESET to RESTORE POINT foobar;
However I did not found such a (or similar) command.
Instead the only way I found was by a FLASHBACK command:
FLASHBACK DATABASE TO RESTORE POINT foobar;
Is this correct? Is there no other command for reverting back to a previous RESTORE POINT?
Peter

HI
Well there is no such command "RESET to RESTORE POINT foobar".....its... "Flashback database to restore point"
now question is that why we use flashback database to restore point? for example we want to run some application on our database but we are not sure that it might create some unwanted changes in our database ...so we mount our database and enable flashback then we create restore point let say "create restore point beforeupgrade"....and then we run our application now if we find some unwanted changes in our database we will flashback database to created restore point.
here is the link to understand more......

Using restore points WITHOUT flashback possible (in Oracle Express versio)?

For development I am using Oracle Express 10g version rather than Enterprise version.
Unfortunately the "Flashback" feature is NOT available in Express version (only in Enterprise).
I can CREATE a RESTORE POINT but I can NOT go back to it with a Flashback instruction like
FLASHBACK DATABASE TO RESTORE POINT myrp234;
Is there a workaround for this in Oracle Express?
Being able to CREATE a RESTORE POINT is useless if I cannot go back to this RP.
So I guess there must be another way?
