System Restore Point Keeps Growing
Hi to all. I posted this question quite a while back and never really got a clear answer as I recall. My SSD is 256GB. It contains the operating system and all of my files. Not even half of the drive is being used. My question is more of interest rather than causing a problem. I set the system restore space usage to 5% which is 11.89GB. If I create a single restore point it starts off using around 600MB. In about a week it will grow to something like 9 or 10GB. It does this on another machine I have as well. I never remember this happening with Windows 7. Once a snapshot is taken I would think that its size would stay pretty much the same. If additional restore points are created I obviously expect it to grow. I'm not concerned about the free space being swallowed up as there is plenty of storage left as I mentioned earlier. Anyone have any idea why this happens? Thanks in advance for any replies.
