Size of Restore Points?

[meb]

I was reconfiguring the amount of disk space allocated
for Restore Points, when it occurred to me that I had no
idea how much disk space a single Restore Point takes up.

I know it must vary depending on system configuration,
but is there an average Restore Point size?

Thanks.

No, that is dependant on the size of your hard drive, data on the hard
drive and your computer usage.
The best you can do is occasionally check yours and come up with an
average.

No there is not.
If your interested in preserving, for example,
2 weeks worth of restore points, start with a
restore space size of about 750MB on the system partition
and monitor it.

It's never going to be exact. It doesn't depend on
the configuration, it's all to do with system activity.
