Hi
I have just had a beauty. Urgent call from user help manager - the D3 drive
of 19.5GB on Windows Server 2003 was down to 280MB and about to expire.
Strange I thought! This is a very small system. Logon and check nope there
is only 2.5GB used in directories on the drive but it definitely says all
but full.

Some genius in a third party support agency has decided to Shadow Copy C: to
D: - totally unnecessary as the entire D3 application and databases are on
D: and C: is just basic Windows. Better still, said genius now claims that
D3 must be using the numerous copies of shadow that have filled the drive as
he cannot delete them. We cannot see them as we are remote user and he has
not shared them.
Anybody know of any way that D3 could possibly have anything to do with
shadow copies? Meanwhile we shut down D3 and they have been deleted.
