[QUOTE="EvenStranger, post: 1257415, member: 181804"] Actually, swap space is not the term I meant... I meant the sleepimage file. Your system sets aside some space equal to your RAM to save the contents of RAM when your system hibernates. That's your sleepimage, and it's not usually backed up. If you were to look at your drive with an app like GrandPerspective, you would see the large 4GB box that represents your sleepimage. [/QUOTE]
