caution when saving data to other partitions. System Restore may cause you
to lose that data if you restore.
By default there are some places such as My Documents that system restore
does not touch so that you will not undo that data.
If you choose to save or archive data to a different partition, you might
want to turn system restore off for that partition or drive.
