Triplate is right - SR is not reliable enough as a method of system backup. And yes, when you disable SR all the restore points are automatically deleted on the drive(s) selected. Unless you have a massive disk, SR only goes back a few weeks. If you have to clean up after a virus or trojan infection, you should disable SR immediately after the cleanup in case the infection is also in one or more of the restore points. Many people overlook this then wonder why they have been re-infected when they use SR.

But if you don't use SR that can't happen. Another good reason for disabling it.
