This is dependent on the space you have allocated to the archive (slider
located at System | Performance | File System | Hard Disk) and the
size/number of changes you make to your system. The more space allocated
to the store the more checkpoints and associated files it can hold whereas
if you are frequently changing or updating system components and this
involves large files then more storage is required and less checkpoints
retained. Older check points and their associated archived files are
discarded as new checkpoints are created and files archived so as to keep
the size of the store to <80-90% of the space allocated.
> But, why no checkpoints before yesterday?
There a re many possible explanations but without knowing what you were
doing with your PC over the last few days virtually impossible to provide
a definitive answer. For example if you made many changes or
installed/removed a large application or deleted a large number of files
with system restore monitored file extensions then you could have exceeded
the space allocated to the archive and the store flushed itself. In
addition either changing your hard disk layout or installing the 290700
patch will automatically flush the store.
