Is it really a good idea? It’s a way to save yourself from a disaster, which is the advantage of it?

yeah,but it uses resources and is intrusive.

Right, so I guess what this can do, an image program like Norton Ghost can too... Am I right?

This is exactly what I intend to do... (no restore and back-up with Ghost).
Until now I've just been burning CDs every month - the advantage of this method is that it motivates you to delete useless clutter.

NEstor, you can leave it on during installation, and turn it off once runs smooth.

...or enable system restore every time
you want a new restore point (1-2 month)

I don't think you will "notice" any performance decrease even with the system restore turn on.
I will sugguest alter the size on the HD reserved for the restore data. And always ghost... System restore is not a subsitute to a full backup.
But system restore will not likely to do anything crazy when you are working with cubase and stuff. If you do care, I had say just turn up the priority of Cubase or whatever you are running. That will make more sense...

Hi Nestor,
Maybe I can help you out for a change. I find system restore in XP is actually rubbish and doesn't actually restore that well. For example I have installed a program decided I didn't like or want it, did a system restore within XP , yet the program folder was still there.
I think using something like Ghost is far more reliable and truly does restore your system to the way it was when you created the image. XP doesn't.
That's my opinion for what it is worth.
Regards

AFAIK System Restore is only 'system' restore: that is, system files and registry. It would be scary if it deleted program and data files from my computer
