System Restore (HDD Space Config/Behaviour)


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

To reduce the max amount of space system restore uses I reset the reg

key at:

 

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore

\DiskPercent=3

 

To 3 as you can see, so my slider for System Restore shows use 3% max

of the drive.

 

My drive is 74.5 gb. When I check the size properties of "c:\System

Volume Information" is shows as:

 

Size: 6.29gb

Size on Disk: 3.36gb

 

Can anyone explain this? Does the "size" show larger as this is

uncompressed, but it's really only taking 3.36gb up? Also, 3% of

74.5gb should be more like 2.2gb - can anyone help explain this? Did I

adjust the wrong registry key?

 

Thanks.
