Sig Posted January 29, 2017 ID:1097114 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hi, I am also using Macrium Reflect with MWB 3.0.6.1469, but thankfully I don't have any issues so far. I tried to check the files inside a SVI folder but couldn't find such folder. (OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) Maybe someone point me to the exact location of the "System Volume Information" folder, so I could check? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
throkr Posted January 31, 2017 ID:1097552 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Hi Sig, It is located directly under C (you have to unhide hidden folders AND unmask protected system folders to see it). To look inside this folder you have to take ownership or (much easier) use a program like TreeSize Free. Hope this helps ...

But we haven't specifically tested with PriVazer, so I can't say for sure. I'll see if I can find out though. The two pieces of software that I run which use VSS and I believe may be affected by the VSS bloating bug are Tweaking.com's Registry Backup and Future Systems Solutions Casper 10. They're both widely used (I've used Casper for going on 20 years) and I wonder whether they will figure in your testing of any resolution to this problem?

Peter2150 Posted January 31, 2017 ID:1097633 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Only 2 solutions. 1) turn offf antiransomware module when you use those programs, or 2) wait for a fix. I believe the fix is in the test phase now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
throkr Posted January 31, 2017 ID:1097636 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I agree, the fix should be on its way; that's at the moment the only remaining problem (imaging with MR) on my side using MB 3.0.6. Otherwise, the latest version works like a charm here ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi TempLost-- The soon-to-come fix is a generic solution that should apply to all apps that clean VSS, so the two you mention should be covered.

Sig Posted January 31, 2017 ID:1097656 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thank you throkr! Forgot to unmask "protected system folders" ...and yes, unfortunately I do have a few GB-sized files in the "SVI" folder. Some of them are most likely related to Macrium Reflect, as I compared the timestamp of the files in the "SVI" folder and those on the backup drive. Strangely enough not all of my backups (only a few backups from January) had resulted in "leftovers". Oh well, going to keep an eye on it and wait for the fix.

As an additional info, you could have a look at this thread (discussing the same subject) : "VSS snapshots filling "C-drive" As for the leftovers : simply make your next MR image with Ransomware Protection deactivated in MB and this will clean up all the remnants in the "SVI" folder ... Hope this helps. Edited January 31, 2017 by throkr typo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary999 Posted February 2, 2017 ID:1098223 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I have a slightly different issue but would like to know if this future update to Malwarebytes 3.0.6 will fix it. I also have Macrium Reflect. When I do a scan without checking for rootkits everything runs fine. When I do a scan checking for rootkits, progression stops consistently after a bit. I have to quit Malwarebytes and do a forced reboot (hangs during shutdown). I disabled Malwarebytes, downloaded and ran Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit Beta. The scan runs with no issues. So based on this message thread, I assume whatever fix is in Anti-Rootkit will also fix Malwarebytes 3.0.6. What do you think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you can demonstrate this is related in some way to Macrium Reflect imaging, you should begin a new thread with new topic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps. Hi, thank you for the hint. After reading the whole thread, I think, I'll wait until a fix will be available, Then, before applying the fix, I deactivate "Ransomeware Protection" right before the next backup to get rid of the remnants. If the folder is somehow "clean", I will apply the fix. I prefer this approach, 'cause as somebody mentioned in that thread, this workaround only worked once for him. So, I don't want to waste that opportunity. You know, if I do it now and the workaround wouldn't work again, the folder gets filled up again before a fix arrives. Anyhow, this isn't a huge problem for me, as I have enough space left on that specific drive and the backups don't get bloated anyway. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
