The backups on my Exchange 2010 server running on Windows 2012 server are failing. &nbsp;The error messages indicate a lack of space on one of my source drives (error 0x80780119). &nbsp;I checked all the drives in Disk Manager and see the System Reserved partition has a total size of 350MB with only 22MB free.<br />
<br />
Based on some initial research I assigned the System Reserved partition a drive letter (Q:) and ran the following command from an elevated command prompt: &nbsp;fsutil usn deletejournal /N /D Q:<br />
<br />
It returned &quot;The volume change journal is not active&quot;<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how I can free up space on the System Reserved partition or move it to another disk?
