I performed backup of a volume storing a database on my server using Windows Server Backup (WSB).

Now I have some old shadows that I would like to remove.

To do that, I use the vssadmin command with ShadowID that I'd like to remove:

vssadmin delete shadows /Shadow={9bae879d-979e-4ec0-b252-720de085d2bf}

However, I get the response

Error: Snapshots were found, but they were outside of your allowed context. Try
removing them with the backup application which created them.

Well, the application that created these shadows was WSB, and WSB GUI does not have command to delete old shadows.

How can I delete these shadows?

TIA

Hello,

i suggest to use the specific backup forum instead this one: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsbackup/threads

Hi,

Where are the shadow copies stored? Have you enabled Shadow Copies on the folder/drive?

I had the same problem.

My ArcServe 16.5 has failed more than 15 times and after some investigation (du, chkdsk, windirstat) i thinked about and maybe the system volume information was big and.. it was there.

I ´ve stopped all arcserve services (cstaop/cstart), used the diskshadows approach and worked!

Hi It isn't "Diskshadows" it is "Diskshadow" without the "s" :-)

For anyone who finds this in the future...

As noted above, when I tried the recommended command:
vssadmin delete shadows /all

I got the following error in response:

“Error: Snapshots were found, but they were outside of your allowed context. Try removing them with the backup application which created them.”

Here is what worked:

Open Administrative Command Prompt
Type the following command (and thank you to the person who noted that there is no ‘s’!): diskshadow
Press the ENTER key on the keyboard
Type the following command: delete shadows all
Press the ENTER key on the keyboard
(Note that it took a good 15 minutes for the command to finish executing, but it worked!)

Thank you! This last one worked for me! QUestion, is there a way to remove just one specific shadow copy but not all of them?
