SYMPTOMS
System Restore does not restore compression on files or folders.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because System Restore does not record changes in compression, nor does it undo them. This is because changes in compression does not cause the system to fail.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
If you create a restore point, compress a file or folder, and then revert the system back to the point at which they were uncompressed, the file or folder remains compressed after the restore process.
