![]() ![]() So if you reduce the space it able to use, unavoidable the generation and number of the files that can be backed up are also reduced. Shadow Copies are differential, block-level backups, meaning they only capture the changed bits of each file and so do not require a lot of storage space. ![]() Finally, try again to create a restore point. this GUI only lists NTFS volumes, so you cant create shadow storage for ReFS volume there. ![]() Next go again to System protection and enable it. 1.1 The System protection tab in System Properties. Select the ok button on any active screen, then restart your computer. Select the configure button, next tick on Disable system protection. If you intend to set no limit to the amount of space VSS System Restore and Shadow Copy can use, leave out MaxSize parameter, and the max will be set to unbounded.īut before you shrink or reduce the disk space limit for VSS, remember that VSS is used by both System Restore and the useful Previous Versions (Shadow Copy) feature, where you can retrieve and recover deleted files, or accidentally/wrongly modified files by restoring the saved copy or “previous version” of the file or document. If the Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space is set to UNBOUNDED, you should consider resizing the value to 10 or 20. Select the create restore point option to open System protection on System properties. If a suffix is not supplied, MaxSize will treat the value entered as bytes. The Used Shadow Copy Storage space is at 10.962GB - Ive seen it go a bit higher, but never over 12GB. The problem Im having is that the Shadow Copies are not growing to use all of the Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space. VSS captures shadow copies accordingly as per schedule. Vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /On=C: /For=C: /MaxSize=5GB The value for MaxSize must be at least 300MB or greater and accepts the following suffixes: KB, MB, GB, TB, PB and EB (well, th last few sort of a joke as if you have such many space to spare you won’t worry about how much space VSS is using). The storage area is set to unlimited (300GB). ![]()
