- Adds a shadow copy storage association between the volume specified by
ForVolumeSpec and the volume specified by OnVolumeSpec the shadow copy
storage volume. Storage for shadow copies of ForVolumeSpec will be
stored on OnVolumeSpec. The maximum space the association may occupy on
the shadow copy storage volume is MaxSizeSpec. If MaxSizeSpec is set to
the value UNBOUNDED, the shadow copy storage space will be unlimited. If
the maximum number of shadow copy storage associations have already been
made, an error is given. MaxSizeSpec can be specified in bytes or as a
percentage of the ForVolumeSpec storage volume. For byte level specification,
MaxSizeSpec must be 1MB or greater and accepts the following suffixes: KB, MB,
GB, TB, PB and EB. Also, B, K, M, G, T, P, and E are acceptable suffixes.
If a suffix is not supplied, MaxSizeSpec is in bytes. To specify MaxSizeSpec
as percentage, use the %% character as the suffix to the numeric value. If the
provider is the supplied Microsoft provider, MaxSizeSpec must be 100MB or greater.
- The provider ID can be obtained by using the List Providers command
When entering a Provider ID, it must be in the following format:
{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}
where the X's are hexadecimal characters.
