Configure a new, smaller FSx for Windows File Server file system as the target location. Schedule the task. Adjust the DNS alias after the task is completed. Delete the original file system.

Enable shadow copies on the existing file system by using a Windows PowerShell command. Schedule a shadow copy job to create a point-in-time backup of the file system.
