What do you think of disabling Shadow Copy on computers not having full disk encryption to prevent inadvertent storage of sensitive data? Our support folks indicated they don't use the feature for maintenance or troubleshooting. Some of our Windows folks are worried that it might be used as part of the backup process or to recover files from servers (???). And it it nice to have around when pushing patches or changes that have higher risk of failure (e.g. Service packs).
