shadow copy volume eql

Hello

We have a volume on our PS5000 is MS iSCSI attached to a Windows 2003 UDS server. This volume (4to) is a file sharing for users using NFS. We are taking shots on this volume every hour during the day and preserve a snapshot for each week a few months back in time.
We take snapshots that frequently so that we can recover files/folders that accidentally delete users and the most recent changes.

As you understand snapshot space takes up a LOT of storage capacity. So I thought enabling shadow copies on that volume to the instant recovery of files. As I MFIS space that shadow copy used for this is not that big if it could be our saver because I can then just reduce the amount of hourly snapshots.

So my question is if there are any problems enabling shadow copies on a volume of windows residing on eql.

Thank you

About the cliché, yes it works, it is not a difference if the volume is a disk local or present at the server of the table (via the iSCSI initiator).

The shots of Microsoft Repository is a file, it takes no space on your volume and could cause your volume to use data more quickly than expected. So, this may affect the size of snapshots and replication jobs.

It is recommended to create a new volume to take shadow copies of MS for the server (local and based on iSCSI) disks and connect to your server.

  • Restore point creation crashes and now backup when you create a shadow copy Volume Windows 7 x 64. Help, please!

    Hi all

    Backup and system restore worked fine 2 weeks ago, or maybe even more recently when I had to restore an earlier backup. I first noticed a problem yesterday, however, when you try to install an update from Windows to see that he is hung up on the creation of a Restore Point. I also tried to manually create a restoration via the System applet in the control panel of configuration, but that just hung 'Creation of a Restore Point. Finally, I tried to make a backup of what I finally did the 5/14, but which becomes 7% when creating a cliché to hang there.

    Things I've tried so far:

    1. Ensure VSS and the Windows backup is set to automatic and started in the Services.
    2. Turning Off SR on all drives and turn it back on.
    3. By clicking on the Remove button to all the former restore points for all readers
    4. Running SFC/scannow, who comes back as 'No violation of integrity.'
    5. A ran Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware with nothing found
    6. Have Norton 360 5.0 and I tried disabling in vain. Also no viruses are detected.
    7. Trying to do something in Mode without failure only to discover I can't create restore points there.
    8. Try to resize the shadowstorage and remove the old shadows via the CMD prompt high.
    9. Regsvr32 a bunch of dll found listed on similar sites - much successful in vain a bit - so maybe it's something...
    10. vssadmin list shadowstorage but nothing happens.
    11. No doubt other things but I can't think of them right now...

    So it seems that I can do a repair installation of Windows 7 x 64 or attempt a restore one of my backups for a few weeks there, but the latter seems like it will fail either or I'll run into the same problem again later, the. I have Windows 7 on a 30 GB SSD, and the Windows directory itself takes 15.5 GB, because the installation program requires 17.5 GB for x 64, I wouldn't be able to do even if I removed everything else on the disc but the dir of Win.

    So I figure I can find is a solution to the real problem, do a clean install, or copy my 30 GB partition on another drive, resize, do the repair install and backup. None of this sounds particularly easy options, so can someone please help me find something that might work?

    Thank you very much!

  • How can I disable volume shadow copy?

    How can I disable shadow copy of volume in windows 7?

    Hi Phil8240,

    It is not recommended to turn off shadow copy Volume. It manages and implements Volume Shadow copies used for backup purposes and others. If this service is stopped, shadow copies will be unavailable for backup and the backup may fail. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on will fail to start.

    Let us know if there is some problem that you are experiencing because of shadow copy volume, so that we can help you solve the problem.

    However, if you still want to disable the shadow copy of Volume to follow the steps below:

    1. Click Start, type services and press ENTER.
    2. Locate the "Volume Shadow Copy" service and right click and click on "Stop".
    3. close the windows Services.

  • Volume shadow copy error after moving to MSATA SSD on R7 - 572

    A while back I cloned the value default 1 TB SATA drive on an MSATA SSD plugged into the slot unit MSATA.

    At the time I had been unable to conceive the MSATA as boot drive, while the original (also bootable drive) was in the system such that it does not appear in the BIOS from startup list.

    http://community.Acer.com/T5/S-and-R-series-laptops/cloned-SSD-in-Boot-Manager-but-not-boot-priority...

    As I did not need the 1 TB, I just removed and have used the system very well with just the MSATA SSD.

    Today, I tried to make an Image of Windows backup system and ran a (below) Volume shadow copy error

    Volume shadow copy service operation failed. (0x807800A1)

    Writer has encountered a transient error... (0x800423F3)

    I check all the main remedy online by ensuring that all VOlume shadow copy served are running, but without success. I feel that the fact that I'm on the SSD MSATA which was not visible in the list of the BIOS boot maybe being tied to the backup crashing.

    Anyone running the R7-572 on the MSATA port that is able to make a system image backup?

    Thanks for your comments

    It took me awhile, but I finally understood what was preventing the creation of the image of the system.

    Looking at the event viewer, he had a lot of mistakes, the first mistake we a CAPI2 with event 513, then it was a VSS error with event ID 8228 stating an invalid character in an XML file.

    Error says:
    Do not parse the XML file.
    Reason, an invalid character was found in text content.
    Line 0x000003c0
    Position 0x000009c8, the file below is damaged.
    0xc00ce508 error code
    Text problem<>

    Search through dozens of threads and try a number of bugs without success, I finally found one who mentioned their question came from bad characters in the names of partition after cloning with EaseUs Todo backup.

    It's the tool that I used to clone my drive to a SSD, I decide to check it out.

    The thread mentioned using GPT fdisk utility found on sourceforge, so I downloaded the tool.

    You just run the executable in administrator mode. Find how to use it was a little hard, but basically the commands below does the job

    0:-enabled disk 0, which is my drive.

    I - to view the information on each partition

    It will ask you the number. This allows you to see the names. Some of my partitions had some very strange names did not, we had a quote.

    I checked what names when used on another laptop and decided to appoint mine as follows (I think you can use any name)

    first 600 MB partion: database partition

    Second partition of 300 MB: EFI system partition

    Thrid 128 MB partion: Microsoft Reserved partition

    Fourth 205GB partition: partition database

    Fifth 17 GB partition: partition recovery

    To change the name of the partition, use the command

    c ask for the number of the partition, then the name

    Then save with

    w - written revisions and outputs

    I rebooted, tried the system image backup and no problem this time.

    I lost a full day on this topic, so I hope it can help someone else in the future

  • When I defragment I get message "suspended for the shadow copy of volume.

    Original title: Defrag problem

    When I defragment I get message 'suspended for the shadow copy of volume' whatever that means?

    The VSS Service should not be run unless you do some kind of a backup that uses it.

    Are you using any kind of third-party backup software that would force the VSS Service to run all the time?

    If defrag used to work, what do you think might have changed since the last time it worked correctly?

    I have my VSS Service set to "Manual" - in this way, it not start with XP on a restart and run all day to do nothing, but he will start by itself when I do a backup and stop when the backup is complete (it runs when you need).

    You check the VSS Service, click Start, run and enter in the box:

    services.msc

    Click OK to open the Services applet and find the Volume Shadow Copy Service.

    Select the status and Startup Type columns.

    If you do not have a backup at this time there, the Status column must be empty (not started) and the Startup Type should be set to manual.

    If this is not the case, let a right-click on the VSS Service, properties, Stop (to stop it), change the Startup Type to manual and OK your way out (ensure that it is reactivated by itself).  If it starts up again without a valid reason, you need to understand why and fix it.  Restart to make sure the changes 'stick '.

    See if your defragmentation works when the VSS Service does not work...

  • Can't update or restore? The shadow copy of volume? problem

    The last time I could work happily without errors was right until I downloaded IE9.  I have a x32bit. Dell PC and have Windows Vista Home Basic.  I can't do updates longer without error codes (80040154) as well as since I bought it, for some reason, I've never been able to use the system restore it always comes back with the unfinished system restore.  I'll try to run now just to see what error message is.since I did not note.  Can make backups, I noticed just recently, but did not have one yet.

    The problem that I continue to have is that I get an error message stating "the Volume Shadow Copy used by the system restore does not work.  See the event log for more information. (0x81000202). "I think that my system is unstable.  I no longer, since IE is unusable since October last I now use Google chrome or Mozilla Firefox.  A factory re install easier than anything else.  Please advise I have tried several times to follow the instructions given by others and it never works.

    Asked for a 3-4 years old Dell would be of any effect to all the factory re - install?  Which means it would be easier to fix the problem otherwise.  In any case, please advise as soon as POSSIBLE to let it just the way it is if you think I don't no need for updates, etc.  I use the PC for research and e-mail.  Not much.  Long-term I can't help him.  I never know if I have given you enough information.
