Files and Setting Transfer Wizard question...

I have a rather silly question. . . . I do a lot of Remote Installs at work, and a lot of FASTWiz as well. . . . . will a FASTWiz backup a System Restore point? I don't have that to deal with yet, but eventually it will become an issue down the road.

I don't have that to deal with yet, but eventually it will become an issue down the road...if the System Restore point is created, the problems a user might be having could be replicated and I am trying to stay away from that as much as possible....
 
Any help is appreciated.

Common sense says to me that using the FAST wizard will not copy the system restore point, because that is part of the system, not the user profile - because you could be copying the user profile to a totally different machine, and copying the system restore point would be a futile exercise...
 
That's what common sense says, but I may be wrong...
Check this link from MS for more info.
