Hi all,
we have two backup disks e: and f:
- e: is used for weekly backups, 40GB total size, 4.895.141.888 bytes free
- f: is used for daily backups, 100GB, 51.933.102.080 bytes free
Now in total we get only 5 backup versions /shadow copies. One located on drive e: and four located on drive f:
While I can understand the 1/8 rule for drive e:, I can not understand this for drive f:?
Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: UNBOUNDED (100%) for both drives.
Why is WSB not using the 51.933.102.080 bytes free space on drive f: to create more shadow copies?

Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 11.518 GB (11%)

Any hints?
Many thanks in advance.
