📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses the nature of System Restore Points (SRPs) in Windows 7, with the original poster questioning whether creating an SRP includes a full Registry backup or only partial data, and whether SRPs are independent or dependent on each other. The second user responds negatively, criticizing SRPs as partial, unreliable, and ineffective as backup solutions. The overall sentiment indicates skepticism about the reliability and comprehensiveness of Windows' SRP feature.

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)

Its partial... buggy as shit and not worth a spit as a back up option.
