The shadow copy cache file

The default shadow copy settings allocate 10 percent of the source volume being copied (with a
minimum of 350 MB), and store the shadow copies on the same volume as the original volume. (See

Figure 6

). The cache file is located in a hidden protected directory titled “System Volume Information”

off of the root of each volume for which shadow copy is enabled.
