That is much harder. It sounds like it might be possible with the "vssadmin delete shadows" command but you would need to know the "ShadowID" to delete. You can get these by running the "vssadmin list shadows" command but that dumps them all and you would need some "eleet" scripting skills to parse out the ShadowID from the output of that command.
=============================================================================================================================================================================== Syntax vssadmin delete shadows /for=<ForVolumeSpec> [/oldest | /all | /shadow=<ShadowID>] [/quiet]Parameters Parameter Description /for=<ForVolumeSpec> Specifies the volume for which the shadow copy is to be deleted. /oldest Deletes only the oldest shadow copy. /all Deletes all of the shadow copies for the specified volume. /shadow=<ShadowID> Deletes the shadow copy specified by ShadowID. To get the shadow copy ID, use the vssadmin list shadows command. When you type a shadow copy ID, use the following format, where each X represents a hexadecimal character: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX /quiet Specifies that the command will not display messages while it is running. Remarks You can delete only shadow copies that have the client-accessible type. -----Original Message----- From: Steph Balog [mailto:validemai...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, May 01, 2009 11:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Shadow Copy Management Thats the problem, i already created schedule but I need it to cycle out certain snaps. Like I take snaps every 2 hours each day, but the next day I want those snaps to go away. And then the ones I take every 6 hours, I want those to go away ever 2 days. And the ones I take once a day for a week, I want those to go away after a week. And then the ones I take once a week for 3 months, I want those to disappear when they are 3 months old. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
