Rescue media backup removing restore points
Before working on a PC, I backup the disk either in situ using the rescue boot media, or by removing the disk and attaching to a PC and using TI installed on that other PC.
For some time it has been a frustration to me that doing either of these things will remove all the system restore points from the drive. I have seen posts that attempt to explain this away as a result of something VSS is doing, but I'm not clear how this can be happening when using the boot media. I would think an essential function of TI would be to be able to create a backup copy without affecting the original data.
I can reliably create this, simply by checking in Windows Recovery that a drive has system restore points, booting from the rescue media and creating a backup then booting again and checking again in Windows Recovery and seeing that the restore points are gone.
When I use TI to backup a machine before I start working on it, it's unacceptable that that backup process removes an option that could be used to repair the machine. It is defeating the very purpose for which I need TI.
I was hoping that in upgrading to 2021 I would see this problem fixed, but it is still there. I will have to find an alternative tool if this cannot be fixed or worked around.
