Resizing Volume Shadow Service Storage
To resize the maximum size for a shadow copy storage, this command line utility may also be used to get the job done.
vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /For= /On= [/MaxSize=]
Use the FOR argument to specify what volume you wish to have VSS support. The On argument lets you specify on which volume you'd like the shadow placed- this can be the same drive or not.
The MaxSize parameter should be used to specify the maximum size. It must be at least 300MB, but you can also specify suffixes like KB, GB, TB and PB so if you had a dedicated volume you might say MaxSize=80GB.
Example Usage:
vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /For=C: /On=C: /MaxSize=40GB
