Viewing a list of shadow copies
To view a list of shadow copies on a volume:
1.
Access Disk Management.
2.
Select the volume or logical drive, then right-click on it.
3.
Select
Properties
.
4.
Select
Shadow Copies
tab.
All shadow copies are listed, sorted by the date and time they were created.
NOTE:
It is also possible to create new shadow copies or delete shadow copies from this page.
Set schedules
Shadow copy schedules control how frequently shadow copies of a volume are made. There are a
number of factors that can help determine the most effective shadow copy schedule for an organization.
These include the work habits and locations of the users. For example, if users do not all live in the same
time zone, or they work on different schedules, it is possible to adjust the daily shadow copy schedule to
allow for these differences.
Do not schedule shadow copies more frequently than once per hour.
NOTE:
When deleting a shadow copy schedule, that action has no effect on existing shadow copies.
Viewing shadow copy properties
The Shadow Copy Properties page lists the number of copies, the date and time the most recent shadow
copy was made, and the maximum size setting.
NOTE:
For volumes where shadow copies do not exist currently, it is possible to change the location of the cache
fi
le. Managing the cache
fi
les on a separate disk is recommended.
CAUTION:
Use caution when reducing the size limit for all shadow copies. When the size is set to less than the total
size currently used for all shadow copies, enough shadow copies are deleted to reduce the total size to
the new limit. A shadow copy cannot be recovered after it has been deleted.
Disabling shadow copies
When shadow copies are disabled on a volume, all existing shadow copies on the volume are deleted as
well as the schedule for making new shadow copies.
CAUTION:
When the Shadow Copies Service is disabled, all shadow copies on the selected volumes are deleted.
Once deleted, shadow copies cannot be restored.
