I am trying to find out which third party utilities scrub all my restore points, I have found that Diskeeper is one of the programs that does just that. Also dual booting with XP affects the System Restore on Vista as XP does not recognise the Vista restore points and so deletes them, I would be interested in any further comments on conflicts that affect the System Restore on Vista. I've also read that defragmenting the drive which has the operating system on also deletes the System Restore files, would that be true using the Vista defragmenting tool?
