hi gurus, i enabled shadow copy on my windows server 2003 and used task scheduler to automatically create the shadow copy every 7am and 12pm daily.
but shadow copy takes a lot space, is there a way or settings to set that if the shadow copy is older than 3 days it will be automatically deleted?
is there a way to do that by script or anything or i have to do it manually?
thanks for any input. :)Every second counts..make use of it.

Agree with EXRAPUL, you can also schedule a task to delete the older shadow copies, the VSSADMIN could help you deleted the copies.
