CAUTION:
Use caution when reducing the size limit for all shadow copies. When the size is set to less than the total
size currently used for all shadow copies, enough shadow copies are deleted to reduce the total size to
the new limit. A shadow copy cannot be recovered after it has been deleted.

Disabling shadow copies

When shadow copies are disabled on a volume, all existing shadow copies on the volume are deleted as
well as the schedule for making new shadow copies.
To disable shadow copies on a volume:
1. From the WebUI, click Disks.
2. Click the Shadow Copies tab.
3. On the Manage Shadow Copies page, select one or more volumes on which to disable
shadow copies.
4. In the Tasks list, click Disable.
The Disable Shadow Copies page identifies the volume for which shadow copies will be
disabled.
5. Click OK to delete all existing shadow copies and settings for the volume.
CAUTION:
When the Shadow Copies service is disabled, all shadow copies on the selected volumes are deleted.
Once deleted, shadow copies cannot be restored.
