The advantage is gaining extra free space. If you are concerned with losing the previous restore points, wait until you do not need them anymore before reducing the allocated space.
If you plan on upgrading to Windows Vista or running a clean install and will need extra space, consider reducing the space after installation has completed. It is not recommended to disable System Restore. The capability to restore to a previous point in time or having the new Shadow Copy feature available can be a time saver if something goes wrong or if you delete a file.
You can also delete restore points quite easily in Vista by using Disk Cleanup in Accessories. I did mine that way, and it freed up a nice amount of space. The above is not recommendation listed here is not something a novice should venture into. Raven, using Disk Cleanup and the vssadmin command will delete restore points. Eventually you will need to run disk cleanup again to free up disk space. Fortunately the command is simple to use..
I understand completely, thank you. But, in reading though the above, I see no recommendation for how much to set the amount of space allocated to Restore Points indicated. For a novice, this can be confusing. Perhaps an idea of the amount of space to give it would be in order.
I am sure the author knows what a safe amount is. Raven — it's impossible to recommend "a safe amount" since Computers can be set up with different partition sizes and overall total hard disk size will vary. Try cutting the percentage in half or less and keep testing until you comfortable with the amount of disk space is used by System Restore. More than likely you won't be going very far back for a restore. If something goes wrong on your Computer…you will know it immediately, and using more than two or three restore points probably will not fix the problem.
I followed all of the instructions perfectly but it won't resize for me. Verify there are no syntax errors in the command check that spaces exist between each argument in the command. Yep I did everything. I had x-setup latest version installed and used that to try and adjust the size of system restore. It didn't so I uninstalled it. Do you think it had something to do with this problem?
Great thanks original poster, just what I wanted. I fail to work out any logic by removing this option. In my case it was taking up 12Gb of a Gb drive. I've reduced it to 6Gb.
Just to be on the safe side. Is this a recommended size i have. Cos i always do backup my much needed files on my external drive and dont need any backup and aint much of a restore point fan. But i would like a professional opinion on this. Also take in to consideration the "previous version" option for restoring files. If you want to use this feature, you may need more space for restore points. Also, "previous version" is not available in all versions of Vista. I've been running virus and spyware scans with no success and it's been driving me nuts!!
I did a Google search and found this page…thank you so much for your help and wisdom!! I even talked to Dell Support today about my issue, and the guy never once mentioned the System Restore.
I did the 'vssadmin list shadowstorage' and found that 38GB of space have been used so far, and a total of 68GB have been allocated for use. In your expert opinion, what would be a reasonable amount to reduce this to…34GB? Please let me know what you would recommend. I thank you in advance for your help and want to let you know that it is greatly appreciated! With a hard drive of GB, your half way to a terabyte of storage I've built servers with far less storage than what you have available!
If you have Business, Ultimate or Enterprise version of Vista, you may want leave it and consider taking advantage of Vista's Volume Shadow copy which allows you to use the "previous versions" feature recover previous versions of files.
I cannot run vssadmin list shadowstorage. The message is "No items found that satify the query". Make sure there are restore points being created and that you are running the command as an administrator. Check the event log for errors. If nothing can be found you are probably having a problem with Vista. I don't know if "Unbounded" is something you could specify, or just the system's response to a malformed or corrupt setup.
But, if you wanted to cripple your future ex's Vista computer, "unbounded" would be a good way to do it. Here is my problem related to the disk space. Please read this post. Good information. Did you end up rebuilding your computer using HP Recovery Manager and rebuild Vista to fix your problem? I didn't. I'm worried about whether registry of all other softwares will be influenced or not or they will be wiped out.
Give me an advice! If you rebuild, everything will be wiped out. Considering all the problems you've been having, I would do it and start over.
Thanks but I won't rebuild it. It's so hard to start reinstalling heap of softs. I'll continue to find what's happening.
