    Recovery Image and System Restore Point


    I noticed that when I made my first Backup image (per Win 7 OS and not third party software) that it created a system restore point. If I wanted to delete all system restore points will I still be able to use that recovery image should I need it? In other words, are the OS-created images and system restore somehow integrated and dependant upon one another? I think the answwer is no, but I want to make sure just in case.

    FWIW, i installed Acronis True Image 2010 and would like to disable system restore altogether once I get the feel for this OS

    Thanks

    They are separate. You can make on schedule,: Just image or just restore or just a copy of your files (back up and save)
