It is simply too much work to reboot and start allover again if you have done anything more than just test one function. It would be easier to load an Acronis image instead, I think. Also, it is not clear, where they refer to the "system partition", if they work similar to the system restore function in XP, which only protects system files. I have 10 logical disks running on 4 physical drives. Would EVERYTHING I do in a Returnil session be covered,or only what occurred on the system drive?
