4.5
The dedicated space for shadow copies is full, preventing new ones.
Symptoms
- BitLocker error
- Disk space warning
- Backup failure
Possible Causes
- Small shadow storage limit
- High rate of data change
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check Storage Usage
Run "vssadmin list shadowstorage".
2
Increase Max Size
Run "vssadmin resize shadowstorage /for=C: /on=C: /maxsize=20%".
3
Free Up Disk Space
Delete large files to give VSS more room to grow.
When to See a Technician
VSS storage is "diff-based"; the more files you change, the more space it needs.
