1. Check the Current Shadow Copy Storage
To view the current shadow copy storage settings, run the following command in Command Prompt (CMD) with Administrator privileges:
vssadmin list shadowstorage
✅ This will display the current shadow copy storage association for each volume, including:
Used space
Allocated space
Maximum space
2. Modify the Shadow Copy Storage Size
To set the shadow copy storage size to 200 GB with no limit, use the following command:
vssadmin resize shadowstorage /For=C: /On=C: /MaxSize=200GB
Replace C: with the volume letter where you want to modify the storage.
/For=→ Specifies the volume the shadow copy will be created for./On=→ Specifies the volume where the shadow copy storage space will be allocated./MaxSize=200GB→ Sets the maximum size for shadow copy storage to 200 GB.
3. Set No Limit for Shadow Copy Storage
If you want to remove the limit entirely, run the following command:
vssadmin resize shadowstorage /For=C: /On=C: /MaxSize=UNBOUNDED
✅ This will allow the shadow copy storage to consume as much space as needed until the volume is full.
🛠️ Tips
If you want to apply the same configuration for multiple volumes (e.g.,
C:andD:), repeat the command for each volume by changing the drive letter.You can verify the changes by running the
vssadmin list shadowstoragecommand again.Contact Druva Technical support for any query.
