    Vista64 VSS storage - redirection to other partition ?


    Hi,



    is there possible to redirect Vista shadow copy service storage
    to other partition with cluster size >=16 kB ?
    My system one has cluster 4 KB and suffers
    by defragmenting issue for VSS and cluster <16 kB.

    The space at system one is also a reason.

    Some 1-2 month ago I was playing with some Vista CL commands
    not successful and not remember which, probably fsutil...
    it claimed it is possible but failed.

    A defragger that can work around the VSS on those partitions will help.
    I've been using Diskeeper 2008 for defragging my 4kB cluster sized
    partition (vista home premium) for many months now. I use the special
    VSS defrag mode as recommended in the manual and it's been great so far-
    no unusual restore point activity or space consumption after a defrag.

    I know that PerfectDisk has VSS compatible mode too.
