    System Restore Points with full or only partial Registry backup?


    Assume I create a System Restore Point.
    Is a full Registry backup included?
    or only a partial backup for all branches which are core Windows 7 related?

    By the way: Is each SRP independent from the others?

    If I delete lets say the 3rd out of 5 SRPs.
    Are the two 2 SRPs following the third still valid?

    Or do SRP depend from the preceding chain of SRPs (because they are only a kind of differential, delta backups)

    All Restore Points are separate of each other.
    Removing a Restore Point does not effect the other Restore Points.

    Here is some information that will answer all kinds of questions.
