Why was an item skipped because it was too large for a restore point?

Short answer: Each restore point has a space limit, so items too large for it are skipped and listed. Protect large folders with a regular Data Backup instead.

Restore points are meant to be quick safety nets, so each one has a space limit. Items too large to fit — or that would push the restore point over its limit — are skipped and listed so you know.

For large folders you want to protect, set up a regular backup with Data Backup instead. See restore points.
