chrisredfield93 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Is it possible to have shadow copy / preivous version local? Edited March 23, 2009 by chrisredfield93
powdarrmonkey Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 In case you didn't notice, we all work full time and this is the middle of the day. It's pretty unreasonable to bump after fifteen minutes... In answer to your question: on Windows Server, you can manage shadow copies locally, including restoring them, but not much more. You need to access them through a share for full functionality.

I apolgise, I guess if I want windows XP / Windows Vista to have this feature but to see it from their own drive that I have to do through share to itself.

dyoung5 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Windows client versions (XP, Vista etc) don't have a shadow copy service. It's a server feature. Actually Windows Vista does. Its part of the System Restore feature, and works in a similar way to Server 2003. A shadow copy is taken at each restore point, and you can then access the previous versions locally not through a UNC share IIRC. David 1

(/me has been avoiding Vista like a hole in the head.)
