Disk Cleanup Automatically Deleted Something???
How big should the "temp" file be?
I've only used system restore once, so I'm not too worried. Livin' on the edge. Thanks!!!! "Mike M" wrote in message ... Thanks for posting Frank. 168MB sounds reasonable for checkpoints going back to June 13. I'm a little surprised at the small size of C:\_RESTORE\TEMP which suggests to me that the state manager has recently done a tidy up operation, archiving files required for checkpoints to FS*.CAB files and moving them to the C:\_RESTORE\ARCHIVE folder and discarded the remainder. In my view it's always worth keeping an occasional eye on the size of the C:\_RESTORE folder as this can give an early warning of potential problems with system restore. -- Mike Maltby Fred Mann wrote: Hi Mike, I hope you're still there. Anyway, to answer your questions... The archive folder is only taking up 168 MB. "Temp" has two different sizes listed -- size 8.2 kb and "size on disk" 96 kb. The oldest checkpoint is now Jun 13. Thanks again for all of your help. Much appreciated!!!!! |

How often this happens depends upon the activity of the system. A stable system where nothing is added or removed will see less activity than one where the user makes frequent changes or additions. On my check system a 1,332KB file is placed in the TEMP folder each time the system is booted. This file is ISafeEngine.dll which forms part of the Computer Associates AV application that is installed on that system. Why? I don't know since the file doesn't change and the CRC check remains unaltered. I've only used system restore once, so I'm not too worried. Livin' on the edge. -- Mike Maltby |
