| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: System Restore - disk space Hi, First of all this thread has helped a lot. I have been able to set my Max Shadow Storage to 50GB from about 112GB (My HDD 75ogb) Anyways... now that I have set my max to 50gb (which I did a few weeks ago)... my used and allocated space is now larger than the max? Used: 57+GB Allocated: 59+GB Max: 50GB Why is it like this? :/ Any help is appreciated, thanx. Last edited by yvescy; 07-31-2009 at 03:03 AM.. Reason: added |

| Vista home premium 32bit | Re: System Restore - disk space Djlevel9, I would not "fix" anything. The more restore points you have, the safer you are. And since you have an abundance of disk space, the 68GBs should not put you into a bind. That will give you restore points for about 6 weeks back (depending on the number of installs). |
