"Should I let System Restore monitor my external drive?
It is a bad practice to let System Restore monitor an external drive. By design most external drives are monitored by System Restore. If any changes are made to the external drives files while it is not connected to the system, the next time it’s connected System Restore will find an inconsistency in the SR log and cause all existing restore points to become corrupt and require there deletion. The same can be true if the external drive is powered off while the system is running.

I know nothing about Vista. It could be Microsoft deliberately disabled Vista from monitoring external drives for the reasons the author of that article described.
