Re: Hibernate question

I don't have a highly technical explanation of it, except I think it takes
the contents of RAM and writes it to disk in a file called hiberfil.sys.
When you come out of hibernation RAM is loaded from the file, restoring your
computer to its previous state. As long as you use hibernation the file will
hang around, staying roughly the same size. Obviously it will vary some
depending on what you were doing when you went into hibernation. If you no
longer use hibernation you can delete it.

How does hibernate work? Does it keep using up space on your hard drive
and
adding on or does it use the same space everytime?
