Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Setup and Deployment / November 2006System Restore
How does one set, or limit the size of the System Restore folder? mi Hello. I am almost certain that you can not set the size, your options are to disable it and use no space or enable it and then it uses at least 300MB of free space on each hard disk and up to 15% of the size of each hard disk that has it is turned on.

I was not able to se the minimum size to less then 300MB ;( Do you know if there is a way to customize the size for Volume Shadow Copies and then System Restore seperately or do they both use the same space?
