| vista home premium 32bit | Allocated Restore Size I was checking my current allocated restore size, and comparing from what I saw in Shawn's tutorial, it seems a lot of space allocated on my C drive. This is what it said in C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe : -- " Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 11.695 GB Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 14.542 GB Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 14.882 GB " Should I reduce the size or leave it as is ? Thank you PS. My C drive has 99.2 GB |

| | Re: Allocated Restore Size Hi, The default is 15% of the drive, so what you are seeing is normal. Unless you have a need for drive space, I'd leave it alone. -- 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 "davidjchuang" <davidjchuang.3726e6@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net> wrote in message news:davidjchuang.3726e6@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net...
