Incompatible version of the serializing package. (0x80070724)

Thanks for the info. it worked great.

(First I type ‘cd\’ to get to the root directory)

_C:\Windows\system32cd\_

(Then this is what appeared on the screen)

C:\

(Now I know I did not need to cd to the root directory but I did it
never the less Then at the command prompt I types what you said to.)

_C:\Vssadmin_list_shadowstorage_/for=c:_

(Then this is what appeared on the screen)

(I was surprised to see that the Shadow Copy Storage space & etc. was
in the GB’s. I was a bit afraid to continue with what you said, but
knowing that I made a copy of all my all my files & etc. on a external
hard drive, I continued, as you said by.)

(Then I typed what I really did not think you meant for us to type at
the command prompt but I really did not know, & thought it would not
matter for I was sure it would not do anything, & I was right. Don’t
think I’m nuts. I just wanted to be sure.)

_C:\install_or_uninstall_something_like_FreeCell _

(Then this is what appeared on the screen)

The syntax of the command is incorrect.

(Don’t laugh but I just wanted to be sure, I have not worked in dos
much for years. Then I did as you said & typed at the command prompt
this.)

_C:\vssadmin_resize_shadowstorage_/for=c:_/on=c:_/maxsize=original_value_

(Then this is what appeared on the screen)

The syntax of the command is incorrect.

(I repeated it two more times with the same results.)’

(Now I’m starting to think that I should have put in the original value
of the Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space (in my case 33.419 GB), instead
of the word ‘original Value’ as well as leaving out the ‘ ’.’ Now
as of yet I have only made a back up file of my C: drive & all seems
well, but do you think I should go back & set the original value of C: &
D: drive? I did have to do this process to my D: drive (a partition of
the main hard drive) to get my systems to quite giving me the
‘Incompatible version of the serializing package. (0x80070724)’when
trying to make a back up or system restore.)

(Now for some reason I tried it without the ‘=original value at the
end next. (I‘m including this because I thought you might find it
useful or at least interesting.))

Error: Invalid option value.

Resize ShadowStorage /For=ForVolumeSpec /On=OnVolumeSpec
[/MaxSize=MaxSizeSpec]
- Resizes the maximum size for a shadow copy storage association
between
ForVolumeSpec and OnVolumeSpec. Resizing the storage association
may
cause shadow copies to disappear. If MaxSizeSpec is not
specified, there no limit to the amount of space it may use. As
certain
shadow copies are deleted, the shadow copy storage space will then
shrink. MaxSizeSpec must be 300MB or greater and accepts the
following
suffixes: KB, MB, GB, TB, PB and EB. Also, B, K, M, G, T, P, and E
are
acceptable suffixes. If a suffix is not supplied, MaxSizeSpec is
in
bytes.

Example Usage: vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /For=C: /On=D:
/MaxSize=900MB

(Then I wanted to see what it would say about my Shadow Copy Storage
space so I repeated the command you gave us.)

_C:\Vssadmin_list_shadowstorage_/for=c:_

(Now after I did this process to the C: drive it still was not working
right so I tried it for my D: drive that is named ‘Recovery’ & is only
10 GB in size of the 222 GB hard drive that is used for C: & D:.)

(Then I did as you said aging at the elevated command prompt but used
‘D’: instead of ‘C’

(I think I’ll go ahead & change the Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space
to the original sizes of the D: & C: partitions of my internal hard
drive. The phrase ‘elevated’ in your wording ‘elevated command prompt’,
was new to me but now I know what you mean, in that it is a command
prompt run with administrative privileges. Thanks ever so much.)
