In the last post I wrote about a nice hidden little feature in Vista which lets you change the amount of space used by System Restore in Vista.
While some of you might need to do such thing, you should know what the consequences of such action are as well as the alternatives to it.
I knew this all along - that's why I will never limit the amount restore uses on my system, but it didn't cross my mind that some users might run to take action so they can get more space back on their drives. You may be risking more than you are gaining since system restore in Vista works a bit different than in XP and it is very closely connected to your system backups and "previous versions" of files you have.
Not to reinvent the wheel as my Computer Science teacher Fred Smith from UIC long time ago used to say, Ed Bott has a really nice and in depth article about this which I think all of you who are considering changing the amount system restore uses should definitely read before you do so.
