You may find your backup software doesn't like it if you disable the service. _____ From: Evan Mann [mailto:emann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 23 July 2004 14:55 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] OT: Shadow copy not really disabled on default 2003 install Anyone else notice that Shadow Copy is set as disabled by default on a new 2003 Server installed but it's really not? I have to go into settngs, manually set a size limit 100 MB, then click disable and it actually removes the shared. But all the time it says Disabled. Until I do this, I see my HDD space eaten away. Will disabling the Volume Shadow Copy service all together prevent this from happening? Will it cause other problems?
