| 627537 | 2008-01-05 06:25:00 | Hi, I recently regained over 2 gb on my H/d after a remark in F1 made me think I might have a lot of deadweight there What is the best % level to be set on that slide in allowing system restore to function? I have 40 gb h/d divided into C and D drives 1 gb ddr 400 ram XP pro :dogeye: effie c |

| 627538 | 2008-01-05 06:29:00 | Depends on how much you want it to restore. The only thing its good for, is hiding viruses / trojans. I would actually turn it off. |

| 627539 | 2008-01-05 06:35:00 | Hi S G, nah ! I am too old and stupid even after ten years of learning :o At a rough guess each time I have had to restore--and there be more than one I can assure you-- a month appears to about what I would choose from- One day after a cock up would, on that basis, do, but I have actually gone back several days more than that:nerd: I have 4 % or 1290 mb at the moment- could I get away with less? :D effie c |

| 627542 | 2008-01-05 06:52:00 | Probably something like True Image (www.acronis.com) BUT, its not free. |

| 627543 | 2008-01-05 09:08:00 | Hi effie. I use Acronis True Image 10 ,usually once a week,but I still have the system restore working.Have set it up at 5 percent of the hard drive, which is about 7 Gb. I've found there still is the odd occasion where it's easier to restore back after a fault occurs !! |

| 627544 | 2008-01-05 12:41:00 | I hate to disagree with Speedy Gonzales here, but I won’t recommend that you disable system restore; it is quite useful (it has saved my butt many times & it even saved my butt tonight!!) How much free space do you have on your C drive at the moment? Also you can safely disabled system restore on your D drive, there is no need for it to monitor your D drive as I guess its just all your data there, correct? |

| 627546 | 2008-01-05 19:32:00 | Hi effie. Acronis 11 will cost you about $67. If you can afford that - then go for it. Only about the cost of an hour of any good tech's time. | Scouse (83) | ||
