asked on Server 2012r2 Shadow Copies/Previous Version
Hi
I want to reconfigure our shadow copies so that they are stored on a separate disk as they are currently being stored on the same disk as all the shares are on. We have had a few issues with performance such as opening files taking a long time. I have noticed that the shadow copies were running on the default schedule, which I have amended to run at a more convenient time, but I wanted to follow the recommended procedure.
Is it possible to reconfigure without losing the previous shadow copies ? We do a nightly back up of the file server using Veeam.
Thanks
Matthew

Thanks for the comments. I just wanted to check whether it was possible to move the existing shadow copies from the current location to the new one that I have already prepared. I didn't think it was possible, but I just wanted to double check.
Thanks again
Matthew
