System Restore
Windows XP’s System Restore feature can be configured to periodically
create snapshots, called restore points, of operating system files, the
Registry, and various Windows component configuration databases such as
COM+ and WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation). In order to undo
damage caused by user error, system updates, or an application installation,
an end-user can run Windows XP’s System Restore Wizard and roll back the
state of these files and settings to a previous restore point. However, the
Windows XP System Restore Wizard is only accessible when a system is
booted, making it unavailable when a system is rendered unbootable. ERD
Commander 2003’s System Restore Wizard provides access to the restore
points of Windows XP System Restore, enabling you to apply a restore point
even when a system cannot boot.
The ERD Commander 2003 System Restore Wizard, which resides in the
Administrative Tools folder of the Start menu, is similar to the Windows XP
System Restore Wizard. Use the wizard’s restore point calendar to select a
restore point that you wish to apply. The wizard applies the system files,
configuration databases and Registry of the selected restore point, making
backups of any files it changes within root-directory folders named
ErdUndoCache on the volumes on which replaced files reside.
If you apply a restore point and later wish to restore the previous state, run
the ERD Commander 2003 System Restore Wizard and chose the undo
option. When you decide that you no longer require the option to undo a
restore point’s application, use ERD Commander 2003 System Restore
Wizard to delete the undo cache directories from the installation’s volumes.
NOTE
: In order to ensure that subsequent use of Windows XP’s System Restore
Wizard does not corrupt the system’s state, ERD Commander 2003 System Restore
Wizard deletes the restore point that you apply and any that follow it chronologically
from the Windows XP System Restore database.
