Hi,
My server's hard disk partition (compressed NTFS) is of 1.5 TB and it has shared folders on it and Volume Shadow Copies were configured. for more than a year there has not been any problem with the shadow copies. But suddenly it stopped taking the Shadow
copies. The data size is now half of the total space. I have freed some space by deleting four oldest shadow copies. still there is no solution. Actual space allocated for shadow copies is 120GB.
Every day, it is scheduled to run at 1:00PM. In the Event Viewer, I have these messages
1. At 1:00:55PM, The Volume Shadow Copy service entered the running state.
2. At 1:00:55PM, The Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service entered the running state.
3. At 1:05:45PM, The Volume Shadow Copy service entered the stopped state.
4. At 1:05:45PM, The Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service entered the stopped state.
But if I run the scheduled task, the task is running.
What could be the reason? Please suggest.
