Notes
The minimum size for a volume using Shadow Copy is 1 GB, approximately 30 percent of which is dedicated to the hidden Shadow Copy volume when enabled.
While it is technically possible to do so, we do not recommend using Shadow Copy on a volume that is also being protected with File-Based Write Filter (FBWF) or Enhanced Write Filter with HORM (EWF).
