The following example shows an NFS share named “NFSShare” with three shadow copies, taken on
April 27, 28, and 29 of 2003 at 4 a.m.
NFSShare

Access to NFS shadow copy pseudo-subdirectories is governed by normal access-control mechanisms
using the permissions stored in the fi le system. Users can access only those shadow copies to which
they have read access at the time the shadow copy is taken. To prevent users from modifying shadow
copies, all pseudo-subdirectories are marked read-only, regardless of the user's ownership or access
rights, or the permissions set on the original fi les.
Server for NFS periodically polls the system for the arrival or removal of shadow copies and updates
the root directory view accordingly. Clients then capture the updated view the next time they issue a
directory read on the root of the share.
Recovery of fi les or folders
There are three common situations that may require recovery of fi les or folders:
• Accidental fi le deletion, the most common situation
• Accidental fi le replacement, which may occur if a user selects Save instead of Save As
• File corruption
It is possible to recover from all of these scenarios by accessing shadow copies. There are separate steps
for accessing a fi le compared to accessing a folder.
Recovering a deleted fi le or folder
To recover a deleted fi le or folder within a folder:
1. Access to the folder where the deleted fi le was stored.
2. Position the cursor over a blank space in the folder. If the cursor hovers over a fi le, that fi le is selected.
3. Right-click, select Properties from the bottom of the menu, and then click the Previous Versions tab.
4. Select the version of the folder that contains the fi le before it was deleted, and then click View .
5. View the folder and select the fi le or folder to recover. The view may be navigated multiple folders
deep.
6. Click Restore to restore the fi le or folder to its original location. Click Copy... to allow the placement
of the fi le or folder to a new location.
