my friend recently did a full backup of his system in order to use a larger
drive as primary.
he successfuly restored to the larger drive and is working fine
he noticed that there is 30gb extra space (30gb less used) after the restore
and was wondering how that could be possible. he says all his data is
there. one thought i had was restore points was the other 30gb but wasn't
sure with the new volume backup solution in vista/2008
