Re: system restore space usage

Thanks for the link, Malke. I googled on it to learn more about the command-line and saw this info:

Unfortunately vssadmin resize shadowstorage doesn't quite work the way it
should. You can use this command to change the size, but the size is reset
to the default the next time a restore point is created. We have a bug to
change this so that a custom setting actually sticks.

FWIW.
