IFD must use a lot of compression as the image file was only about 75 GB My C:/ drive is about 215GB. But thats OK as I will have room to save a few extra back ups. Bill.

Bill,

Brian,

The page file is 65475 MB, that's what it's set at.
Never gave the page file much thought.
With that much ram, do I need a page file?
In regards to the hibernation file, I haven't
figured that one out yet.

Bill.

	Re: Image For Windows Reply #35 - Jul 17^th, 2017 at 10:46pm Bill, to see both files... Folder Options View tab dot in Show hidden files, folders and drives remove the tick from Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) Look in C: drive root for the files. pagefile.sys hiberfil.sys put the tick back in Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)

	Re: Image For Windows Reply #38 - Jul 18^th, 2017 at 12:09am Win7 assigns a pagefile 1 to 1.5 times the amount of RAM. Win10 assigns a pagefile about 1/6 times the amount of RAM. Big difference.

I don't think that is a fixed ratio. I have been working with an ASUS LapTop with 2 GB RAM and a pagefile of 1.125 GB > a ratio of 0.5625. My own Toshiba with 8 GB RAM has a pagefile of 1.75 GB > a ratio of 0.21875. It seems like the more RAM the lower the ratio.

Both also have a swapfile of 16 MB. Does anyone know for what?

	Re: Image For Windows Reply #41 - Jul 18^th, 2017 at 9:27pm Bill, Thanks. That 117 GB is not backed up by default so your backup image file size is appropriate. Do you use hibernation? I turn mine off with (Admin command prompt)... powercfg -h off You can turn it back on with... powercfg -h on

	Re: Image For Windows Reply #42 - Jul 18^th, 2017 at 10:24pm Brian, I set the page file to custom size. 2048 MB min 2048 MB max. I don't use hibernation, but you say it's on by default? Why do they make it such a trick to turn it off? I do use a screen saver. Bill.

	Re: Image For Windows Reply #43 - Jul 18^th, 2017 at 10:57pm Bill, when you get rid of hibernation and with the reduced pagefile size you should have 115 GB of extra Free Space.
