Restore point size
From command line vssadmin list shadowstorage, my restore point (shadow copy storage) space is 19.531GB, allocated space is 14.902GB, used space is 14.077GB. However, I can only see TWO System Checkpoint restore points in System Restore. Is this normal? Does the info for two restore points really take that much space? I can't restore to anything earlier than a couple of days ago, to the first of the two System Checkpoints... c:\ 197GB total, 105GB free (primary partition in SATA 320GB HD)  -- davdun75

You should be able to get 20-25 points in that space - MORE than enough. If you only have two, then you must not leave your computer on very long... true?

Restore point size
vssadmin list shadows
The above command will show the actual points that are currently available. In the UI dialog advacned settings, you may need to enable the line to show older restore points. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "davdun75" wrote in message ...

Restore point size
I have the same problem, and cannot see any option to show older restore
points. I have 16GB taken up by points, but only 2 points seem to be showing in the restore window. Is it possible that each point takes up 8GB? :-S -- Thanks, CJSnet Recommended: * http://search.superhighstreet.com - Finds anything or they pay! * http://www.superhighstreet.com - Beat the crowds with Virtual Streetscapes [remove 'teeth' to e-mail me] "davdun75" wrote in message ...

Restore point size
Thanks for keeping this thread alive, and for your response. I have since discovered that when I use CCleaner, my restore points are removed - I bet that most "privacy" software will do this. I like CCleaner but have to be careful what NOT to clean...  -- davdun75

I like CCleaner but have to be careful what NOT to clean... I use it several times daily and NEVER had it remove any restore points. You are doing something wrong.

They maintain themselves without me doing a thing. You might check to see how much space you have reserved for them: http://www.petri.co.il/change_amount... _in_vista.htm
