This how to explain how to configure Microsoft Windows Vista disk space for Automatic System Recovery.
For doing so, open a command prompt with administrative rights, you can do it by right clicking on the command prompt icon and choose “run as admin…”.

At the prompt digit :

VSSadmin List ShadowStorage

The output will show the disk space usage for ASR (Automatic System Recovery).

To change the value above you could use :

VSSadmin Resize ShadowStorage /For=C: /On=C: /MaxSize=1GB

Where :
/For=C: is the volume interested for ASR
/On=C: is the volume on which you want to save the ASR
