4.6. Scheduling Shadow Copies
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.
It is recommended that shadow copies be scheduled not more frequently
than once per hour.
Notes
When deleting a shadow copy schedule, that action has no effect on existing
shadow copies (which have taken).
