I was wondering if someone could tell me how Hard Disc space to allow System
Restore to use. I don't wish to have masses of Restore points. It is
unlikely I would want to go back more than a month ago at any rate. At the
moment it is set on 5% which is 1950MB.

Hi

I limit SR to 5% which here is 500 MBs - that gives me 5/6 checkpoints,
which IMHO, is adequate. No need to go back weeks for a checkpoint.

Lynn;
How far do you want to be able to go back?
How many Restore Points do you want to have?
Answer those questions and you are half way to your answer.
Since everyone's computer usage is different, there is no set %.
A % that takes me back 2 weeks, may only take you back a few days or a
month or more.
Experiment, set the % that gives you what you need.
3% gives me about 2 weeks worth.
