No,
IMHO a total waste of time.
It is an emergency messure for ppl that do not know to service their OS - and have run into a problem that they can not solve.
I consider it a waste of time even when You change things often.
You create create an image of a newly setup system - & copy that back when System starts to make problems.
Pofessionals that change things often do that.
Most of us do not even need that - service programs exist.
& Clean autostart every once in while. That keeps system fast.
We do not install many new programs.
System rollback is sufficiant for most of us.

No
Complete destructive restoration is an emergency procedure, and should be a last resort to go to when your computer has a problem. Don't use it as a maintenence measure.
It will put a lot of strain on your hard drive, and you will inevitably lose data each time because you'll forget to back it up.

absolutley a load off BULL
No need to do this at all - Had my pc for 5 years - only recovered only once due a corrupted windows operating system
As long as you do general PC house keeping it should be ok
System Recovery destructive is the last resort

That's very foolish advice. The most I would do is get a good antivirus program (AVG www.grisoft.com works great and its free) and make sure that you set checkpoints periodically in case you ever have to do a system recovery.

i think its fine, its easy to do and you won't lose any info....i don't know what destructive recovery means......but you can restore to an earlier date by going to start, all programs, system's tools, and running the restore programs, its easy....while your at it in the same section you will also see disk cleanup and disk defragmenter,,run both of them too.
your computer should run faster.

There is no reason to do this routinely.Just keep up to date anti-virus and anti-spyware. Defrag once in awhile and do a chkdsk once in awhile. I have never done "destructive recovery" in 15 years of pc use on different pc's.

Not necessary. Sounds like someone is trying to sell you on some service plan. Don't fall for it

I recommend it as well, simply because it cleans out your system and it will run much faster.
Of course, make sure to do backups of any information you want saved
