[@Rich] Rich, sorry I didn’t respond sooner… Genie Timeline basically copies files from the places you chose to a destination folder. If you change or erase a file by accident, and Timeline had already copied it, then Timeline will help you get it back by restoring it from the destination folder. Timeline will make a new copy in the destination folder any time you change a file (next time Timeline does a backup), so you can often restore an older version if needed. I can’t imagine why it would ever mess with a system restore point. Timeline is not a program that routes all disk and registry activity to a sandbox area to let you reboot to rollback all changes. Timeline only works with files that you tell it to protect.
That being said, I just checked my own System Restore list and I only see one restore point. But I’ve done some disk cleaning and have set the space allowed for restore points to a fairly low amount. So I can’t tell for sure if Timeline is affecting anything. Anyone else out there know any more about this?
