Should System Protection be Enabled on a Data partition?

It actually just saved me a deleted folder this morning after I emptied my recycle bin. Deleting things when you're extremely tired is never a good idea! :)

I don't usually have my external drive connected all the time. I usually just connect it when I backup my files or do a system image. And I don't use the library feature in Windows 7. I have explorer open My Computer instead. So I'm not sure the file history feature would be much use to me.

Haven't tried Windows 8 though as I'm happy enough with 7 at the moment.

Sounds like these forums will be plenty active for sometime after all This sounds like the making of XP/Vista all over again. I'll wait for Windows Number 9.

Oh and incidentally W8 CP relegates the current backup and Restore to "Legacy Windows 7 Backup" and hides it away only in the Icon view of control Panel. It doesn't replace it with anything that could be called a backup either. I guess that if you have a tablet you don't back it up because drives never fail do they.

I've been watching for over two years now for Backup Imaging improvements and still haven't found the right channel to communicate the plain fact that it isn't up to Win7 standards.

I think I've been lucky as I've never had a problem with the Windows 7 imaging. Although from reading these forums I see a lot of people have.
They could learn a thing or two from Macrium. Such a great product and great price.....FREE! :)
