    How to configure shadow copy storage?

    Hi,

    I was looking into the Event logs on my Vista system and found the
    following error message:

    "The shadow copies of volume C: were aborted because the shadow copy
    storage could not grow due to a user imposed limit."


    After I perform a disk clean and delete the shadow copies, my System
    drive (C is about 26GB.

    How do I increase the shadow copy storage and avoid this error message?

    Thank you in advance. Wish you all a Happy New Year!



    Regards,

    NJ

    Hi neil,

    You can read Brinks tutorial on increasing the SR size.

    Try not to post multiple posts on the same subject in different categories though, this is frowned upon.
