Guest Brian Z Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 I have a server that is running shadow copies twice a day. They seem to run fine, then after a day or so they just dissapear. I see no errors in the event log. I am running SP2 and all the updates. I have over 1 TB of free space on the server so disk space is not an issue. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Brian
