>From what I understand, any "in use" files, such as system files, are
not over written in situ, but rather are restored to an alternate
name....sort of, and tagged for the OS to swap it after reboot.
 
so since the file in use, and the new restored file both exist, you need
"some" extra space.
 
shouldn't be a whole lot extra.

        I heard about this - does anyone know why the restore needs MORE
disk space to recover the OS ?
