Guest Robert Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 This is a Windows 2003 SP2 Server with a C and D drive. The D drive is the problem. I am running out of disk space and I am sure that it is the System Volume Information folder. I cannot get in to it though. I get an access denied error when trying to access it. Things I've done so far; disabled shadow copy, check that the indexing service was stopped (it was disabled), restarted the server, restarted Volume Shadow Copy service, Restarted the VSS SQL Server write, restarted Backup Exec, applied all Microsoft patches.

Seize ownership of this folder, then give full access rights to the System account and to your own account.
Guest lukesh Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 RE: System Volume Information Access Denied and filling up 1. Right-Click the volume drive letter where the large System Volume Information folder is located. 2. From the shortcut menu, click "Shadow Copies". 3. You will likely need to click Enable. 4. Set the Maximum size: field to "Use Limit:" and insert something like 100MB and click Ok. 5. Click Disable to disable Shadow Copies on the volume. You will be warned about "deleting existing shadow copies, etc.", Click Yes. 6. Click Ok to close out of the properties dialog for the volume.
