SG is correct, System Restore can't be moved - but there are a number
of things you can do that will reduce the amount of space that it
consumes (short of disabling it entirely which I do not recommend):

Probably the single best thing to do is move all of your personal user
data files off of your system drive (Documents, Music, Videos, Pictures,
etc.) to give System Restore less stuff to track - see this tutorial
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/107990-personal-user-shell-folders-move-locati
on.html).
Obviously you'll want to make sure you implement an alternate backup
strategy for these files if you remove them from System Restore's
management).

You can also use the Vista Disk Cleanup tool to reclaim some space - on
the "More Options" tab you will find a button that will allow you to
cleanup your System Restore/Shadow Copy history - see
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/142656-sp1-disk-cleanup-tool.html).
This will remove all but the last restore point created, but if your
system is currently in a stable state there shouldn't be problem in
removing the historical data.

If this is an "always on" desktop PC, you might also want to consider
disabling hibernation to get a sizable chunk of your system drive back -
see ('Hopelessly Aporetic - Disabling Hibernation in Vista'
(http://www.prilliman.com/Blog/PermaLink,guid,01e7ef01-f142-451f-a2ea-888c68dfe1c
5.aspx)).

And last but not least - you can manually adjust the maximum amount of
space that is allocated for System Restore/Shadow Copy. Vista defaults
this allocation to 15% of the size of the partititon (on a 250GB drive
this would be in the neighborhood of 37.5 gigs). If that's too big a
chunk for your comfort, you can reduce this by running the following
from an administrative command prompt:

vssadmin resize shadowstorage /For=C: /On=C: /MaxSize=*10GB*

10GB is just an example here, your mileage may vary depending on the
size of your drive partition and how full it already is, so you may wish
to adjust that value up or down to better suit your needs - see ('Change
the amount of space used by System Restore | Windows Vista for
Beginners' (http://www.vista4beginners.com/System-Restore-Space-Used)).

Hope this helps.

Never heard of that, so I'd say no.  

Do you have space problems?
