Missing System Protection tab on System Properties (Windows 7 Home Premium)
location: microsoft.com - date: December 9, 2009
I just installed Windows 7 and want to create restore points as I proceed to install apps. However, there is no System Protection tab on System Properties! Volume Shadowing is on and I have plenty of space on the C: partition. So how do I get the tab to appear? - Tom

System Restore / System Protection, REGBACK, and a tremendous amount of disk I/O triggered by log on or unlock events
location: microsoft.com - date: April 3, 2009
At startup, "system" is consuming a tremendous amount of I/O. I removed my virus scan software to eliminate it as a possible contributor to this issue. I also disabled Windows Defender via the GUI One major I/O offender involved files being written to System Volume Information. I finally was able to disable System Protection, which appears to have taken care of this issue. Now I have a tremdous amount of I/O writing files to C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\ See the specs below - this is not a slack machine, but these activities are bringing this PC to its knees. It is nearly unusable while these activities are occurring, and these activities take a half hour or longer to complete. What is REGBACK? Back in the NT 4.0 day

Should System Protection be Enabled on a Data partition?
location: 7forums.com - date: April 27, 2012
What opinions do others have about enabling System Protection on a separate Data partition (D)? I do not recommend this normally because System Restore only restores OS and Programs anyway, so why have it possibly interfere with keeping the latest data set intact on D in case C needs Restore or Reimaging. I may be missing something. What do others think about this? googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1360528945348-0'); });

Windows 7 won't start. System Protection turned off.
location: 7forums.com - date: February 16, 2011
Hi Sorry for starting a new thread - I couldn't see anything directly relevant. My computer will not start normally - it reaches the windows screen and freezes. Ordinarily I would use system restore but when I try to do this I am told there is no system restore point as system protection is turned off. I can start the computer in safe mode but I cannot turn system protection on since the tab for system protection does not show up where help says it should. I have tried to allow the computer to repair itself but it doesn't seem to be able to do so. I'm sorry this information is a bit vague - I can answer specific questions if anyone is willing to ask them. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1360528945348-0');

Need to turn on System Protection
location: 7forums.com - date: October 12, 2010
I am trying to do a system restore. When I get to the screen titled 'confirm disks to restore' it says 'you must enable System Protection on this drive'. I am unable to enable System Protection thru normal means because the tab isn't showing up. I searched the forum and found an answer in the following thread that I thought would help: Can't access System Protection options There's probably a value in the registry called "DisableConfig" or "DisableSR" at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore. Open regedit, browse to that key, and if either value exists, delete and reboot the PC. You should get your System Restore tab back after doing this. Last edited by cluberti; 08-27-2010 at 05
