1. vssadmin list shadowstorage did NOT list any before the job started.
2. Rebooted and stopped the iDrive backup service. “IDriveService”
3. Tried to backup the 40.4GB partition only and failed.
4. During the progress, vssadmin list shadowstorage showed the shadowed copy.

• The disk layout – I chose the min size.
