Can I set VSS storage location to another disk ?

Once I was told I cannot, but this syntax shows it may be possible.

vssadmin resize shadowstorage /for=c: /on=c: /maxsize=15GB

I was not allowed to use other letter than C: in /on.

That looks like a variable to turn VSS on, not what drive it should on. I
would be very surprised if it could be moved onto anthor disk.

It cannot be moved to another disk. You can use any disk letter that
you have on your system, but the "/for" and "/on" have to be the same.

Hmm, there must be reason for implementing independent settings
/for=c: /on=c:

as flag on/off the string /on=c: does not make sense.
