    Windows Backup Cleanup Bat
    « on: March 31, 2015, 08:33:30 AM »
    Hi

    Im looking for help in creating a BAT file to remove old backups from a Windows server 2008 Windows backup set. I was thinking of using Diskshadow command to remove some old shadow copies. Does anyone have any advice or any other methods of doing this?

    Looks like the right way to do it.  Looks pretty straight forward.  You can create a script file with all the commands and it looks like you just need to use the Delete Shadows option.
