Good amount for Vista System Restore?

[Jesse1]

Well i recently went to check out why there was a huge chunk of my hard drive set aside for SOMETHING, and another user suggested i check the system restore. Well...it turns out Vista had set aside 33GB of space for system restore! And what confused me was...i had just cleared then with Disk Cleanup a couple hours before i used TuneUp Utilities 2008, and it had already grown to 33GB.

 

So, what is a good size for system restore? I was thinking about setting it around 10-15GB.

There are various links to do with recommended sizes and the fact that vista system restore uses so much space up.

 

Here is one of the links

Oh ya i had googled befoe and i came up with that site.

 

But i just havent found any that say whta a good size is. I just think the Vista recommended one uses WAY too much.

 

Thanks for the reply.
