The hard drive used must have more than 1 GB of capacity and over 300 MB of available space. 

• 

Each storage volume can accommodate 64 shadow copies. When this limit is reached, the old-
est shadow copy will be deleted and unable to be restored. Shadow copies are read-only so you 
cannot edit the contents of a shadow copy.
