    Copying large volumes of data


    Hello -I am trying to copy a large volume of data from one hard drive to different one 500GB, over 100K files. It will do about 10%, then it just gets bogged down and essentially dies. Is there a way to make this work? I am more concerned with reliability than time. Both drive are DASD drives.Thanks

    :)

    Failed to Create Volume Snapshot Macrium Error 0x8004230f VSS Error

    Hi, you might try this:
    Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) Troubleshooting - Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) Troubleshooting

    or the free cautious repair tool
    Tweaking.com - Windows Repair Free/Pro
    - observing the steps and using only the relevant repairs

    How to Fix VSS Errors Step-by-Step

    Otherwise I suggest- assuming your disk and file system are sound-
    an in-place upgrade repair install which keeps all progs, data and most settings

    You need an iso of the same base language and build- freely downloadable.

    Any way to downgrade ver. of MS Storage spaces volume w/o data loss?

    1. Install Windows 1607 & 1709 dual boot system
    2. Connect two free disks
    3. Boot into 1607
    4. Create storage pool, assign two free disks, create two-way mirror volume
    5. Copy data to new volume
    6. Reboot into 1709
    7. Upgrade your Storage Space pool to gain new features as MS suggests
    8. Reboot into 1607
    9. Your Storage Space configuration looks now as in the picture, volume is inaccessible
    10. Notice that doing step 7 was not the smartest idea, data are now accessible only from Windows 1709.

    Question: Is it possible to simply revert Storage Spaces metadata back to version 1607? Answer: No. It is necessary to backup data, destroy upgraded pool, create new pool & mirror in Windows 1607, and restore data.

    Is it so hard to understand what necros asks for?

    Copying large volumes of data

    Volume shadow copy settings

    Hi,

    Volume Shadow Copy Service or VSS usually needs the data to be backed up while the applications that produce the data are still running. This means that some of the data files might be open or they might be in an inconsistent state. If the data set is large,
    it can be difficult to back up all of it at one time.

    If you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to post back here.
