2. VSS takes up too many HDD space.

We have found that the preset of the virus scan software “NOD32” will automatically

create a temporary file under windows system temporary folder when VSS connects to

sites. This temporary file will automatically increase the size which causes the HDD

became lack of space.

Please go to the control center of the NOD32 and disable

IMON

. Then the problem

should be resolved. The following pictures are examples.
