Is it possible you really do need more space for the shadow copies? If so, is there enough room on the drive for more?
Vssadmin list shadowstorage Vssadmin resize shadowstorage On a Windows 7 machine I have next to me, only one shadow was listed, but "list shadowstorage" showed almost all of the space taken. Check the switches for the "resize" command and see what might be appropriate for your drive and amount of free space.

I have a XP SP3 machine that is virtualized and needs to be backed up. When veeam runs to backup, it throws an error about the maximum number of vss snapshots have been reached. When I do a vssadmin list shadows, it only shows one entry. When I try a vssadmin delete command, it gives me the error of incorrect usage. After doing research, I cannot find anything on how to delete that shadow copy in XP. Does anyone have any experience with this? TIA Jimmy
