SHADOW COPIES ?

[subzeroeire]

i am wondering wouldi be correct in saying that you can only enable shadow copies of drives or partition and not on single folders?

can i enable shadow copies on single folders ?

Nope, you can't. It's only applicable to volumes.

pretty crap

Not really, the idea is to shadow whole volumes so that Windows can backup open files.

So when you look at it like that it's pretty good.

Hi, how do I setup shadow copy on our Win2003 Domain? And how much space does it need, as our file server has 1 volume which is 1.5TB's...

If you right click the volume that you want shadowing there is a tab and a check box, easy as that.

The service will allow 10% of the available disk space for shadow copies, when this is full it will overwrite the oldest one.

Remember that you need to install the shadow copy client on workstations in order to allow your users to recover files without administrator intervention.

For Windows 2000 SP3 or later, XP and 98SE:

or off the Win2003 CD-ROM.
