I fully agree.
Good luck.

Thank you again, Mark. We will continue to explore your suggestions.
Nevevertheless, it's frutrating when, 'out of the blue,' a very basic
feature ceases to work after it has been working fine for some time.
These types of problems really make it hard to fall in love with Windows.
Regardless of whether you're a novice or advanced user, is wastes valuable
time trying to resolve such issues and often forces you, involuntarily,
into unwanted technical areas.

Thank You,

Richard

I know this is simplified, but Vista is built on Windows Server 2003.
There is a lot of cross over between Windows Server 2003, 2008 and Vista

Please note the following:

Enabling/Disabling Shadow Copy space for External Drives is done within

Allocating size other than default is via vssadmin command, or within the

Thank you, Mark, this may put us on the path to an answer.
Nevertheless, the article does not specifically deal with Windows Vista
(and includes illustrations not available in Vista), so we would still
appreciate any other help someone might have.

Thanks,
Richard

When using Vista Backup we are receiving the following error:

"A shadow copy could not be created for the following reason:
Insufficient
storage availabel to create eith the shadow copy storage file or other
shadow copy data. (0x8004231F)"

The error aborts the backup. We have plenty of disk space and cannot
figure
out why we would receive this error. In order to eliminate Vista
Backup as
the problem, we tried to create a 'Recovery Point' using the 'System
Protection' tab of the 'System Properties' dialog. We received the
same
error which infers that this is a Windows Vista restore point problem
versus
a Vista Backup problem.

Ironically, the restore point feature is supposed to delete old
restore
points as new ones are needed, correct? So the reported problem
shouldn't
ever be a problem, in our humble opinion. Can anyone help with this
issue?
