Windows 7: How to permanently save a restore point

I set a restore point 2 days ago manually. Today I have found it has been deleted and I may have to reformat because of this.

I set my drive to hold 1.15gb in size for restore points. The current restore point is a mere 200mb yet it STILL decided to delete the old ones. Previously I've checked only to find 0 restore points despite the settings being adequate.

It seems restore points simply don't work on my OS. They show up for a handful of hours and are automatically deleted (even the manually made ones).



What is the solution here?

The modern way to do this is to get a perfect install using the same Best Practices in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 then save a backup image externally so if Windows 7 becomes irreparable you can reimage the HD or its replacement in 20 minutes.

Meanwhile you can add more restore points that last longer by apportioning more disk space for them: System Protection - Change Disk Space Usage. I use 10-20% on problem install.s

Thanks, I'll definitely make sure to backup an image this time when I'm done.

I created a few restore points for a test and I noticed something. It saved 4 restore points at a total space of just 350mb or so. I'm gonna guess a restore point from the day before would end up taking more space than two that are ten minutes apart, but I'm starting to doubt this is why my restore points don't save.
For one I've never allocated more than 1gig in the past, and in the past restore points saved for a full-week almost.
Secondly, there are many times I have zero restore points, which doesn't make sense seeing as I've allocated over 1GB. There should at least be one, probably more, but at least one... right?
It's like as if there is something that is automatically deleting restore points after X amount of hours since creation, X being less than Y, where Y is amount of hours between restore point creations.

Please start a new topic, do not hijack someone else's, second do you not have a recovery partition that you can use to repair windows with?

Please start a new thread and then send us a link.

Be sure you System Restore is enabled. System Restore - Enable or Disable

Have you ran any malware/anti-virus scans lately? Some of them erase restore points.
