<p class=MsoNormal>Do you have the Shadow Copy turn on that drive on the server
end? If yes, check and see how much space that is using, if you delete
that, or clear some of the older copies that will free up space. What
version of Exchange are you using?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A strange problem: I have 4 Exchange data stores on my
server. They are segregated onto a DB array and a Log Files array, both
separate from the C Drive. An examination of the file properties gives a total
of about 37GB for the data store files (.edb) on the DB array, which is
consistent with the backup size without compression. However, the Disk
Management console says that 101GB is free (out of 250GB), and so reporting
that this disk volume is somehow consuming 150GB instead of 37GB. How is this
possible?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have done everything I can to check for hidden/system
files, including examining the individual file properties both from Windows and
the command prompt. Anyone else have this issue? Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
