    I would like to restore a file - located in the shared folders of the server - in its yersterday's version .
    If I access the server using RDP , under files/properties I DONT get a "previous version" tab . Why is it so ? can it be corrected ?

    Thanks in advance

    See this thread, but be aware that it's unsupported, and not a very convenient workaround.
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    You won't see Previous Versions when you logon to the server desktop if you are checking the local drive path (D:\shares).  You will only see the Previous Versions tab when accessing the server through the network (assuming it's even enabled, as per the thread Ken linked to).

    I think you'll find that WHS and Windows Server 2003 do not have System Restore available as standard.

    There are instructions here about installing it on Windows Server 2003, but TBH I wouldn't trust it on a WHS install.
