Need help troubleshooting VSS


Recommended Posts

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

Never mind. I figured it out; none of the files had been changed. Once I

changed one, there was a Previous Version.
