Shadow copy, by default, will start itself up and run at 7a and 12p every
day. You DO NOT want to go into Services, and change it to start
automatically.

As to it's placement, if your partitions are all part of one big Raid
configuration, you don't have any choice - do you?

Anyway, what they said was only a recommendation, just like they recommend
to put the paging file on a separate drive, or to put Exchange on a separate
drive, or to put your SQL on a separate drive. All nice recommendations, but
in an SBS2003 environment, that usually won't be the case!
