How to configure shadow copy storage?

Hi,

I was looking into the Event logs on my Vista system and found the
following error message:

"The shadow copies of volume C: were aborted because the shadow copy
storage could not grow due to a user imposed limit."


After I perform a disk clean and delete the shadow copies, my System
drive (C is about 26GB.

How do I increase the shadow copy storage and avoid this error message?

Thank you in advance. Wish you all a Happy New Year!

Regards,

NJ

Hi neil,

You can read Brinks tutorial on increasing the SR size.

System Restore - disk space



Try not to post multiple posts on the same subject in different categories though, this is frowned upon.
