Does anyone know the reason for System Restore taking up more drive space after only a few days? I'm not making any new restore points but it still seems to increase in size.
For example, I make a restore point that's like 600 MB in size; when I check back in a few days, the used disk space from restore points has increased to 25 GB.
What is going on here? I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium.

What your seeing is space being taken up by both "Restore Points" and "Previous Versions" of files - both of which are stored in the same folder.
"Previous Version" file copies get made regularly by default in Win7.
