Hey Everyone,
Has anyone run into the issue where on a Windows 2008 Server, Volume Shadow copy is disabled but it is still using and taking up more space? I have found both virtual and physical servers exhibiting this scenario and I have done some searching but I am not running into anything I can find that describes this issue.
Right click on the c drive and Configure Shadow Copies...
In the attached screenshot you will see that the service is disabled but it is using 48 gigs of shadow copy space. Often you might look at a server and can't figure out where the space went to. If you highlight all the files on a drive and go to properties it won't add up the amount of space used. It is ghost space, or invisible space.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Matthew
