Windows: Data Recovery & System Restoration

***

Q: How does one allocate disk space for system protection? How does one assign disk space for System Restore?

A: As shown in the video...
***
Application: Data Back up and recovery, Recovery from Memory Dump

Relevant Background: "System Restore is a feature in Microsoft Windows that allows the user to revert their computer's state (including system files, installed applications, Windows Registry, and system settings) to that of a previous point in time, which can be used to recover from system malfunctions or other problems. First included in Windows Me, it has been included in all following desktop versions of Windows released since, excluding Windows Server.[1] In Windows 10, System Restore is turned off by default and must be enabled by users in order to function.[2] This does not affect personal files such as documents, music, pictures, and videos....In prior Windows versions it was based on a file filter that watched changes for a certain set of file extensions, and then copied files before they were overwritten.[3][4] An updated version of System Restore introduced by Windows Vista uses the Shadow Copy service as a backend (allowing block-level changes in files located in any directory on the volume to be monitored and backed up regardless of their location) and allows System Restore to be used from the Windows Recovery Environment in case the Windows installation no longer boots at all....In System Restore, the user may create a new restore point manually (as opposed to the system creating one automatically), roll back to an existing restore point, or change the System Restore configuration. Moreover, the restore itself can be undone. Old restore points are discarded in order to keep the volume's usage within the specified amount. For many users, this can provide restore points covering the past several weeks. Users concerned with performance or space usage may also opt to disable System Restore entirely. Files stored on volumes not monitored by System Restore are never backed up or restored....System Restore backs up system files of certain extensions (.exe, .dll, etc.) and saves them for later recovery and use.[6] It also backs up the registry and most drivers....The amount of disk space System Restore consumes can be configured. Starting with Windows XP, the disk space allotted is configurable per volume and the data stores are also stored per volume. Files are stored using NTFS compression and a Disk Cleanup handler allows deleting all but the most recent Restore Points to free up disk space. System Restore can be disabled completely to regain disk space. It automatically disables itself if the volume's free space is too low for it to operate....Windows creates restore points:
  • When software is installed using Windows Installer or other installers that are aware of System Restore[10]
  • When Windows Update installs new updates
  • When the user installs a driver that is not digitally signed by Windows Hardware Quality Labs
  • Periodically. By default:
    • Windows XP creates a restore point every 24 hours[11]
    • Windows Vista creates a restore point if none is created within the last 24 hours[11]
    • Windows 7 creates a restore point if none has been created within the last seven days[11]
  • On user's command....For data integrity purposes, System Restore does not allow other applications or users to modify or delete files in the directory where the restore points are saved. On NTFS volumes, the restore points are protected using ACLs. Since its method of backup is fairly simplistic, it may end up archiving malware such as viruses, for example in a restore point created before using antivirus software to clean an infection. Antivirus software is usually unable to remove infected files from System Restore;[19] the only way actually to delete the infected files is to disable System Restore, which will result in losing all saved restore points; otherwise they will remain until Windows deletes the affected restore points. However stored infected files in themselves are harmless unless executed; they will only pose a threat if the affected restore point is reinstated. Windows System Restore is not compatible with restore points made by third party applications...." ("System Restore", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Restore)

Windows Disk Partition Tool

Windows Disk Partition Too l *** Q: How does one access disk partition tool using Administrative Tools under Control Panel? How does one check for different disk partitions?  A: As shown in the video **** Applications: Create disk partition for Windows , Memory Dump , Data Corruption , Data Back up & Recovery ***** Relevant Background: " Disk partitioning  or  disk slicing [1]  is the creation of one or more regions on  secondary storage , so that each region can be managed separately. [2]  These regions are called partitions. It is typically the first step of preparing a newly installed disk, before any  file system  is created. The disk stores the information about the partitions' locations and sizes in an area known as the  partition table  that the operating system reads before any other part of the disk. Each partition then appears to the operating system as a distinct "logical" disk that uses part of the actual disk.  Sy...
