Question guys<br />
<br />
I'm backing up the system state using windows server backup, the thing is that &nbsp;when Im backing up the system state, the vhd files are about 10gb, and if I right click on the folder where the system state backup is, the total size of the drive is 60GB. How can be possible?<br />
<br />
Another question is:<br />
Windows backup is saying that there is 12 copies of the system state backup, is there any way to lower that to 3 for example and make that backup smaller?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you very much
