All shadow copies are gone


hi everyone,

i configured shadow copies user home folders on 2k8r2 file server. looks fine , did create 10 copies. however, 10 copies gone when tried check total shadow copies size. know what's going on or event log can check , figure out how happened? please me out. thank you......:(

there's couple of places can look:

  • check application event log filtering on vss , vssaudit event sources
  • from elevated command prompt, run: vssadmin list writers, , writers may still have error state listed
  • double-check you're seeing in ui with a similar vssadmin command: vssadmin list shadows

look errors in system event log may relate volume shadow copy service.

make sure volume shadow copy service set manual. don't alarmed if not showing started, starts , shuts down again needed or when it's been idle while. running of above commands should result in starting in case.

cheers,
lain
