Windows Vista Shadow Copy
March 2nd, 2007 by SysAdmin
Have you ever accidentally deleted, saved or modified a file which you were working on but failed to back it up?
Microsoft Windows Vista includes a useful technology called Shadow Copy, which allows you to restore your document to a previous state. Shadow Copy creates a snapshot of your files as you work on them, this will allow you to retrieve your work if it’s been accidentally deleted.
In Windows Vista, Shadow Copy is automatically enabled by default and creates copies of your files on a scheduled basis. Only incremental changes are saved, so minimal disk space is used.
To access Windows Vista Shadow Copy:
- Right click a file or folder and select “Restore previous versions”
- Select the file that you wish to restore
- Click Restore…
The file will be restored its original location.
Note* Restore will restore the old file. The newer version will be deleted.
