space used after recovery
I am using Acronis True Image Home 2009 I was wondering if someone could explain the following.
I have reinstalled Windows and with all its updates, it uses 4.7 g on the drive. I have made a backup - it takes up 1.39 g. If I recover that backup, it now uses approx 10 g.
Why is it using more space than the 4.7 g???
Thanks for any thoughts.

Gerry,
Can you use Windows Explorer and examine your disk in detail. Look to see if you have a complete duplicate restore. Perhaps do a file search for the TI "Scripts" folder or some other personal document. You should only find one copy.
When restoring your system partition, this is a partition restore and the resulting partition size should be exactly the same as when the backup was created. Also, when restoring your system partition, it is best done when booted from the TI Rescue CD.
You might also repeat the restore again and check the result. Check to make sure the partition is not resized.
