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...
