Guest JohnB Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 This is a test environment that I'm using to study for MCSA-2003. I have an eval copy of Server 2003 - SP2 on one computer. On another computer I'm running Virtual PC 2007 as the client (XP Pro SP2). Everything works fine as far as AD, DNS, Shares, etc. I have 2 hard drives in the server. On the C: volume I turned on Shadow Copy and scheduled it to run every day at 11:00am. As I write this, that was 50 minutes ago. The Shadow Copy storage location is on the 2nd drive. Under the Properties/Shadow Copies Tab, in the box for "Shadow Copies for Selected Volume" is the copy that ran at 11:00am. But, when I open a shared folder from my client PC, and click on the Previous Versions Tab, nothing is there. I see no errors in Event Viewer that would indicate a problem with VSS. How do I troubleshoot this to find out why I have no Previous Versions? Thanks
Guest JohnB Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Re: Need help troubleshooting VSS Never mind. I figured it out; none of the files had been changed. Once I changed one, there was a Previous Version.
