    Yes, when a restore pt is made a shadow copy is created.

    You can control the amount of space used for Shadow storage - reduce it now if you want - the older pts will be deleted if they fall outside the space you have allocated.

    But would that still apply if I deleted the partition of the HDD and started fresh?
    4. I said yes - meaning the o/s will make restore pts even if it is a new install - why wouldn't it ? ( unless you turn that feature off ).
