Enabling and configuring shadow copies of shared folders
Shadow Copies are used to view the previous content of the shared folders. If you enable Shadow Copies of shared folders on a volume using the default values, tasks are scheduled to create shadow copies at 7:00 a.m and noon. The default storage area is on the same volume and its size is 10 percent of the available space.
About this task
You can only enable Shadow Copies of shared folders on a per-volume basis; you cannot select specific shared folders and files on a volume to be copied or not copied.
NOTE: Creating shadow copies is not a replacement for creating regular
backups.
CAUTION: There is a limit of 64 shadow copies per volume. When
this limit is reached or when storage area limits are reached, the
oldest shadow copy is deleted. When deleted, the shadow copy cannot
be retrieved.
Steps
- Start the Server Manager.
- ,From the Tools menu, click .A list of volumes on your system is displayed in the middle pane of the storage console.
- Right-click the volume and select the Properties.
The selected<Volume> Properties window is displayed.
- Click the Shadow Copies tab.
- Select the volume you want to enable Shadow Copies of shared folders and click Enable.
- Click Create Now to create the shadow copies of the selected volume.
- Click Settings to change the storage location, space allocation, and schedule.
