Volume shadow copying saved a few of my customers asses 😂 corrupt database files…I would roll the file back to a previous date before it was corrupted 😎
Should the source drive and destination both have allocation unit of 16KB?
Is there any other guidance on when to use the larger allocation unit size like 32KB 64KB does it depend on the size of the files on the volume?
How do you delete a volume like this? I have malware that has created volume shadows for system reserved partitions that always come back even after clean formatting the physical disk using diskpart.
Thanks.I learned VSS
Wow! This is perfect.
