I want to save my restore point from my principal disk in the other disk, because I use the other disk to save backups of system and principal disk, so, I don't have idea how I will do it, I just know to do the restore point automatically, I need to create a new task on the scheduler, but, when I create the task, obviously, the restore point is created in the principal disk, what's the command that I have order to the scheduler create the restore point in the wanted disk?

When a system restore is performed these are lost:
a) new updates
b) new drivers
c) new applications
The opening post reported that backup images are being saved to another disk drive.
The Windows drive has a lot of free space.
What is the purpose of saving restore points to another disk drive?
In the future, I will use much the principal disk, mainly because I need to install many programs to my computing and programming homework's, which can save many spaces, so when I transfer the restore points to another disk, I will have freer disk space, because when the disk full, it begins to have performance problems and performance problems perturb much to do homework's that demand much of PC. The restore point consumes much disk space and is recommended to save more of four or five restore points, since four/five or more restore points have more chance to restore the PC about success than less of five points and depend on if the restore points is created every week or every day
Hello
I believe System restore point locations are by Design and it can not be changed from Default location due security.
Please have a look on below Microsoft threads discussed.

So, to export my restore point, I need to install program or to do another options with risk to fail or crash, but I have one question, we create the automatic restore points in the task scheduler and in the action options, we would specify the PowerShell program to execute the restore point command, however, on the "start in", could we specificity what disk we want to create the restore point? Or the Windows won't let me create it on another disk?

It's the options that I have doubt: https://www.windowscentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2018/08/task-scheduler-restore-point-startup-command-windows-10.jpg
I think my question is possibly a safer solution, but I don't know if it's possible in the practice
