Windows 7 Backup & Rollback Rx

[342534352]

Is it not possible to use Windows 7 Backup with Rollback Rx?

I configured a fresh system installed Rollback Rx and attempted to setup a Windows 7 scheduled backup for the Libraries directories but it fails due to lack of free space for volume shadow copy... it has 70MB on the System Partition and 130GB on the C:.

I ran through the troubleshooting steps for this but nothing was working... then I ran across a forum that said disable Rollback RX..? Is it true that they don't work together?

In order for Rollback Rx to work with Windows 7 Backup, you must first type in this "shieldcmd.exe /defrag" in the command line before running windows 7 backup

Thank you very much I almost reinstalled.... had installed Windows 7 with an answer file that disabled Windows System Restore thought that was the issue because the test VM with that answer file / and no Rollback was not working either but the test VM without the answer file and Rollback was.

What does that do exactly because I used the application do defrag the snapshots and that did not work and that defrag command executed instantly.

sorry for posting this a bit late but maybe it could help someone having the same issue,heard back from support and was told to enter "shieldcmd.exe /defrag enable" in command prompt and it works with windows 7 backup.

Thanks for that information. Spotted the thread whilst looking for something else. Always wondered why my Windows 7 couldn't do its backup. Grateful for your input.
