Vista Backup

by julees . Updated 16 years, 9 months ago

Just watched Bill Detwiler’s video on System restore in Vista, where he explains how to limit the amount of hard disk storage space for the restore points.
Now, the backup facility in Vista also creates multiple ‘shadow’ copies. How would you limit the space used on a backup disk. eg, if you only have an 160GB external Hard drive, how could you instruct the backup not to exceed this amount.
(I am aware that if the backup fails then a message is generated to inform you of this ie running out of space.)
