Defrag removes restore points

Hi, Thanks for the reply I am running Diskeeper 2007 Home edition I am
reluctant to button the 2008 version on the off chance that it might not
delete the restore points. I didn't notice this happening before I did a
fresh install of Vista Home though I might just have missed it.
