2008 R2 File Server with 5 x 2tb data volumes presented via the iSCSI initiator. I want to use shadow copies, but having had it enabled a couple of days on the defaults it's clear that even with 2008 R2 a lot of the fun stuff about shadow copies on 2003 R2 is still there i.e. shadow copies randomly lunching themselves due to too much IO: "The shadow copies of volume I: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time. Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow copied." How do you have your configured? I don't really want to create 5 new volumes just for shadow copies, so should a single volume of, say, 500gb suffice with each volume set to use a maximum 100gb for shadow copies? Can you even set the same volume as the shadow copies target for multiple source volumes? Thanks.
