I'm running Norton Utilities 16.0.1.7 on Windows 8.1, and every time I run a defrag of my hard drive, NU erases all restore points as part of the defrag.
I don't like this "feature"! I understand that keeping all restore points "forever" takes up unneccessary space on my hard drive, but I would rather be able to choose which restore points get deleted, and when. Erasing them all every defrag leaves me at risk of having NO restore points to use should I need them, and discourages me from running a defrag.
Does anyone know of a work around for this other than just not running a defrag? Is there a setting somewhere I can change to prevent deletion of restore points during a defrag?
This situation is not specific to 8.1; it existed before that Windows upgrade. NU version 16 is not - it would appear - compatible with Windows 8 --- not fully. I have it uninstalled and am patiently waiting for a full compatibility fix or ugrade version.
