Restore Points removed
I find that the oldest restore points regularly disappear even though I have system recovery on and more than adequate disc space allocated. Am I missing something?

That is how restore points are meant to.....................
excerpt: Source
Restore points are created to allow users a choice of previous system states. Each restore point contains the necessary information needed to restore the system to the chosen state. Restore points are created before key changes are made to the system.
System Restore has an automatic restore point space-management feature that purges the oldest restore points to make room for new ones, while still enabling the user to recover from any recent destructive changes.

Note :
10 to 20 GB of disk space allocated to restore points storage should be enough.
That should be enough space. See once how many restore points you have. The command is
vssadmin list shadows
That will list restore points in all partitions. Make sure you count only the ones for the partition in question.
Hmm, with 30GB of shadowstorage you should have room for appr. 40 restore points - unless yours are exceptionally large. Can you see the size of the restore points that you have. Usually they are between 500MB to 1GB.
