Volume Shadow Copy - Can it be turned off
I have a strict system backup procedure in place where I backup to a USB
hard drive every week night using Acronis TrueImage 10...I keep 10 or more backup images on that external drive to ensure I can restore my system to a recent point... With VSS and restore points, the backups get larger and larger each night... Do I need to use vssadmin and set the shadowstorage to zero for each drive to get rid of the extra space used? Greenwing

Volume Shadow Copy - Can it be turned off
Turn System Restore off completely. This stops the service from loading.
Even with System Restore off you will still have "system volume information" on each drive. But after a reboot, if you look inside this file you will see next to nothing there. Accept the fact that you can not eliminate this file from each drive. -- Regards, Richard Urban MVP Microsoft Windows Shell/User "GreenWing" wrote in message ...
