70-290 shadow copies question

I am not sure of the best answer for one of the questions I had: The
question clearly required you to enable shadow copies on a volume, but it was
a two part answer, and the first part was related to where the shared folder
would be:
- we could put it in the system root.
- or we could create a new volume and put it there.

I chose the second option, because I found it weird to put anything in the
system root, but is there another explanation for this. I don't know if
there is anything that would prevent you from puting the shared file in the
system root and allowing share copies on the system volume. I don't have
access to my Win Serv 2003 for now, so I can't test this myself. Any
suggestions?

Thanks

I'm not finding anything that would pervent you from enabling shadow copy on
the system partition. But, I think this gets into best pactices. We don't
usually set up user shares on the c partition, we create a diffent volume and
put user stuff there. So, you probably picked the best answer. HTH.
