Can I set VSS storage location to another disk ?

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.

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.
