On my laptop, drive C: is a small solid state drive with only about 50G of free space. I noticed that a little bit of this free space is disappearing every day until only a few gigs of free space was remaining. Turned out, shadow storage was eating up all the free space. The size of used shadow copy storage space was about 45GB. The maximum shadow copy storage space was set to unbounded.
I resized the maximum shadow copy storage space and set the size to 20GB using 'vssadmin resize shadowstorage' command. A few days later, I noticed the maximum shadow copy storage space was set back to unbounded. I tried setting maximum size through the GUI (system protection settings) but that did not last either.
Is there any way to find out what application resizes the maximum storage space? Any ideas why something would want storage space to be unbounded?
Thanks,
Igor
