Guest nikro Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 good morning, i have enabled on a win 2003 sbs server the 'shadow copies' of shared folders since the end of september. When i right click on the volume where shadow copies are enabled, in the shadow copy configuration, i can only see the last two copies of the volume (i leaved the default settings : 7am and 12am every weekday for shadow copies). I read I can have as long as 64 shadow copy of the same modified file, and that's what i want: being able to track and retrive an old versioned file that a user overwrited, but at the moment i can only see 1 old version of the file and nothing more. Thanks in advance for your attention and help.
Guest Jabez Gan [MVP] Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Re: shadow copy question I had the same issue but mine is dued ot a high load of IO on the hard disk thus shadow copies only gives a few copies of files (instead of 64). What I would suggest is to ensure you have the data files on a hard disk which is not shared by the System drive. -- Jabez Gan Microsoft MVP: Windows Server - File Storage "nikro" <nikrobo@gmail.com> wrote in message news:6376fd28-6ab0-49e0-bdbf-6497a93e7b5b@n20g2000hsh.googlegroups.com... > good morning, > i have enabled on a win 2003 sbs server the 'shadow copies' of shared > folders since the end of september. > When i right click on the volume where shadow copies are enabled, in > the shadow copy configuration, i can only see the last two copies of > the volume (i leaved the default settings : 7am and 12am every weekday > for shadow copies). > I read I can have as long as 64 shadow copy of the same modified file, > and that's what i want: being able to track and retrive an old > versioned file that a user overwrited, but at the moment i can only > see 1 old version of the file and nothing more. > Thanks in advance for your attention and help.

Guest lukesh Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Re: shadow copy question Installing KB940349 may do it. However, i would be interested in knowing: 1. are there any volsnap or vss related errors? 2. Did it ever work? 3. If it worked earlier, what changes did u make?
