Re: Shadow Copy issue

 

How many free space do you have in the D? What's the Maximum size you setup

in shadow copy?

RE: Shadow Copy issue

 

I have seen a similar issue where the customer was storing his shadow copies

on the same volume as the data, volumes which tend to have a lot of churn run

out of "copy free space". This is not related to free disk space on the

volume. When VSS determines that a shadow copy needs to be pruned volsnap

does not recalculate the copy free space until a *new" snapshot is taken. As

a result, in some instances all shadow copies are deleted and a new one

created and copy free space recomputed.

 

This is resolved in Vista/2008. In the meantime, ensure that your shadow

copies are stored on a different volume than the data you are protecting.

Re: Shadow Copy issue

 

I have 80 GB of free space on the data drive where shadow copy has no max

space restrictions.
