System Volume Information - 2GB in size! Monday, May 19, 2008 at 8:02 am Windows Server 2003 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by phil (1 messages posted) We recently migrated our w2k3 SBS server to w2k3 Standard using a MS SBS Transition Pack. This all went smoothly (for a change) however since doing so we've noticed the System Volume Infomation folder (on the system partion - ie: c:\) is now over 2gb in size. As I understand the system volume information folder is where restore points are saved. This maybe true for XP & Vista but I wasnt aware 2003 had/used restore points? If it does I certianly cant find any evidence for this. My next thought was, maybe shadow copies utilises the system volume info folder however shadow copy has been disabled on this partition as we dont share data from the system volume. If i browse the folder i can see large (ie: up to 800mb) .cl & .ps2 files. With this being our only DC at the moment i am reluctant to delete these files! Any suggestions would be appreciated! ps - why do Dell pre-confgure there servers with small system partitions, 12gb just isnt enough thesedays! There are presently no replies to this message.
