The System Restore Create Restore Point Action will create a new System Restore Point on the local machine or a remote machine.
Machine Name
Enter the machine name for a remote machine, or leave blank for the local machine
Description
Enter the description that the end user will be able to see in the System Restore control panel applet.
Restore Point Type
Select the type of restore point you are creating
Event Type
Select the event type.
An application can create a restore point before it causes a significant system change, such as an install, uninstall, or feature update.
Installers should create a restore point just prior to installation with the Event Type set to Begin System Change. To notify System Restore that the installation has been completed, use another Create Restore Point action with the Event Type set to End System Change.
If the user cancels the application installation, the installer may remove the restore point it created when the installation began. Removing the restore point is optional and can prevent the user from recovering from unintentional changes made by the installer during the cancellation. To remove a restore point, use a Create Restore Point action with the Restore Point Type set to Cancelled Operation and the Event Type set to End System Change.
