System Restore Points

Whenever I restore a point, it does ok but
at the same time it deletes other points prior to the one being restored. I
never notice it before. Say if there are 5points over the last
5 days if I restore the latest one it will automatically delete the earlier
2/3 points.
The space allocated is 460mb and the free space on the drive is 9GB.
Any advice would be appreciated.

AAH,

FIFO means that older check points and associated archived files have to
be deleted to make room for the new and when performing a restore the
system automatically creates a new checkpoint prior to the restore so as
to allow the restore to be rolled back if required.

Try increasing the space allocated to the archive. You should see more
points being retained but suspect that once the archive is full you will
still see the oldest deleted whenever using system restore to return to an
older checkpoint so that space is available for the new checkpoint created
as part of the restore.
