I am using DPM to protect files on my DFS-R server. It always shows 11 or 12 
 
shadow copies even though it is set to take 3 snapshots a day. Where are they 
 
going? The allocation for the replica is 350Gb and the shadow copy area is 
 
100Gb. I updated all the clients a couple of weeks ago and after that is when 
 
I noticed the problem. It could have been happening all along though. I see 
 
these errors in the event log on the DPM server: 
 
Event Type:	Information 
 
Event Source:	VolSnap 
 
Event Category:	None 
 
Event ID:	33

Description: 
 
The oldest shadow copy of volume C:\...3-11d8-b706-0002b351b46e was deleted 
 
to keep disk space usage for shadow copies of volume 
 
C:\...3-11d8-b706-0002b351b46e below the user defined limit.

Do I need to allocate more? Seems like there is a lot already allocated.

I don't think allocating more disk space would help in this case. We've seen 
 
a few cases of VSS event ID 33 recently and are working with the VSS team to 
 
troubleshoot this. 
 
I would recommend opening a support case with PSS so that once we have a 
 
resolution, we can send you an update. Of course, we'll be posting to this 
 
newsgroup as well when we have a resolution.
