Shadow Copy

Question

I didn't know WHS had shadow copy. I have a previous version tab on my files listing prior versions of the document. This is a great feature. Does anyone know where the settings are and if there is a MS while paper on it.

In reading the promo material re WHS I don't recall reading anything about shadow copy. If reliable this is great.

In my case, it keeps shadow copies for about a week. Please do a search for this subject as there are issues with this at present in some configurations - both Kariya21 and Ken Warren have verified and raised this and Ken has formally logged a bug report.

Yes it does keep shadwo copies, at least for WHS defined shares. Please note that implementation of the shadow copies in WHS a bit bugged at the moment:

In addition, WHS documentation advises not enable shadow copies on WHS volumes manually
