System Restore Disc Usage

I can't seem to find a place to change the amount of disc space System
Restore uses.
In Control Panel's System icon I only get an option to create a restore
point
when I click System Restore.
Am I missing something??

Re: System Restore Disc Usage

Hi,

You're not missing anything, the option doesn't exist. There is, however, a
method to do this here:
