Volume shadow copy service is enabled but stopped.

Is yours stopped, and is there a config in the box at the bottom?

hmmm are you comfortable with deleting every restore point on your drive? reason is I'm going to give you a command that will wipe system restore then the next command will set it for a max size of 4%


this code deletes every system restore point on drive c:

Code: [Select]
vssadmin delete shadows /for=c:
this resizes your system restore storage to 4% of your hdd

Code: [Select]
vssadmin resize shadowstorage /for=c: /on=c: /maxsize=4%

Yeah, I am comfortable, since I have no restore points older than today.

I'll try it.

Thanks!

hmmm can you show me
Code: [Select]
vssadmin list shadows

Here's the output from vssadmin list shadows

Bit I don't think it's all there.  The cmd window buffer is inadequate.  I increased the buffer to 999 with properties, but it does not seem to have changed, or not enough.

Should this solve the problem?  Or will we know later.
Heh.

I just created a manual restore point. We shall see.
If there were a whole bunch and they were not showing, could that have been from past malware?

Not yet. It was set for zero space when I started this process, several months ago.

I'll see what happens in the next couple days.
How the heck do you know about those commands? 
I have been around a long time, and I do use command prompts and cli. 

But I didn't know about those.
I don't know about the inner working of that stuff, very low level.

self taught on most stuff I know or researched and researched till my eyes bleed lol I'm like Shane when it comes to computer's and fixing "OCD" except I'm more bi-polar ha!
I love to make batch files to do stuff for me so I try to learn how to do what ever I need for that to happen ;) I wish I could program like Shane can my goal right now is to learn powershell scripting and c++. There is a lot of stuff I know but not everything because everyday helping other people on the forums, I learn something new almost everyday.

my mistake on
wow this is a lot of restore points and they are not showing at all!

If you look at the post that shows all the shadows they are for your other drives as well. now system restore is only drive specific so if your windows os is installed on c: then that would be the drive with all the restore points now if it never showed them and they are there hmmmmm do you have a dual boot set up by chance at all?

I do not have a dual boot setup.
This was built new with windows 7 x64.

Incidentally, the restore point I made last night is gone as of this moment.
Heh.

Any more ideas?

I'm not using the RAID.
I am pretty sure there are no updates for this thing.
It's old, but dual quad core xeons.
Pretty nice, really.  And paid for.

Yes, to manual ones even after a reboot, and I have another one created today by windows update.
But won't actually know until tomorrow, or the next day.

I still have one automatically created restore point from windows update and two manually created ones.

I wonder how long they will last, or whether I will get anymore automatic ones?
