ASP.NET, SQL Server, WPF, C#, VB.NET

running single DPM server with 8 protection groups. DPM shadow copies are 
 
taken nightly only, local shadow copies are taken hourly between 8AM-5PM. 
 
After nightly(>6 PM) DPM shadow is created, one server (protection group) 
 
loses all local copies. The next day local hourly copies are again created 
 
according to schedule only to be lost after DPM runs. 
 
FYI: all dpm copies and all available local copies are fully functional, no 
 
synch issues or alerts. 
 
Thanks in advance for any assistance provided, and I love this product! 
 
Kudos to the DPM team!

Hi Robert! Do you happen to have this hotfix already installed? ... 
 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910330/en-us

This hotfix handles shadow copies getting overwritten.... As a side note, 
 
though, could you please also check and make sure you have enough storage 
 
allocated for the amount of shadow copies you are wishing (for some 
 
reason... I seem to remember Karan once saying sometimes when it runs out of 
 
space, it can delete them all ... Karan, did you ever say that, and was that 
 
just when the hotfix wasn't applied?) 
 
Thanks, Robert!! :-)

DPM doesn't interact with the local shadow copy creation on the production 
 
server. This is an interesting observation. 
 
How/where are you checking for the local shadow copies? End user recovery 
 
client (previous versions client) will not show the accurate information - 
 
please check the local file server's volume for shadow copies or run 
 
"vssadmin list shadows" command to view the local shadow copies available on 
 
the file server. 
 
Also, can you tell us how much disk space have you allocated on the file 
 
server for local shadow copies and the actual disk utilization on it? 
 
Thanks for your kind words on DPM! 
 
Thanks,

Ahh... didn't catch the "local" shadow copy part......... I'll let Karan 
 
handle this one ;-).
