The key here is that a reboot must be completed if the updates require it. As long as the updates have been applied, and the machine has been rebooted, then the new versions of updated files are now part of the operating system and there is no simple way to revert to an earlier revision level.

On the other hand, I cannot understand why windows updates should not be part of the image you are creating.
If this folder is excluded in the image, either through lack of permissions or because it is excluded by default in the Norton configuration, then the restore points will of course be lost. The permissions on this folder block access even by administrators, although administrators can actually change the permissions to give themselves access. The system restore information is actually held in the "System Volume Information" folder. My own backups using a much older version of ghost, would be made after I deleted all system restore points manually as this could save 2 -4 Gb in the final image size. It is also different to a FILE backup which will store a copy of selected files, such as the files in your "My Documents" folder, allowing you to restore one or more files if they get lost or corrupted.ĭepending on how you look at it, once you have made an image backup, is there really a need to maintain the system restore points, as presumably you would not be making an image of a build that is faulty. Restore points made after the image was created are also going to be lost - because they never existed when the image was made.Īn image backup is like a family photograph - it takes you back to a point in time, and will not show any ageing, or changes in haircut, that have happened since the photo was taken. Naturally all changes that were made to your operating system since the image was taken, are going to be lost.

So it requires very little consideration to see that restoring an old image, is going to revert your system to the update status it was at when the image was created. However - if you make an image of a system drive, then that image contains a snapshot of the operating system at a specific point in time. Ghost solution suite is a corporate product and is a substantially different technology. The retail Norton Ghost product is supported in the Backup forum (Backup Exec) and not here.
