System Volume Information out of control!
its easy to limit the amount of disk space used for restore.
on the System Properties pages you can change the % allocated.

The syntax of the vssadmin command is not a lot of fun, but it does allow
you to control the amount of space allocated to system restore and shadow
copies.

Nevermind, it turns out that it was the System Restore, I didn't realize
that it could use up to 15% of your HDD space, 15% of 600GB is a lot of
space and you do notice... Question is, should I turn it off?

I have a really stupid question: What is the System Volume Information
folder used for? And why does it contain 60GB of data there?
Running Vista x64bit Build 6000 (RTM)
RAID5 (x3 320GB)
Thanks,
Mike
