Shadow copies should not replace the current backup, archive, or business
recovery system, but they can help to simplify restore procedures. For
example, shadow copies cannot protect against data loss due to media
failures; however, recovering data from shadow copies can reduce the
number of times needed to restore data from tape.

Using Storage Element
The last step in creating the element is determining its drive letter or mount
point and formatting the element. Each element created can exist as a drive
letter, assuming one is available and/or as mount points off of an existing
folder or drive letter. Either method is supported. However, mount points
cannot be used for shares that will be shared using Microsoft Services for
Unix. They can be set up with both but the use of the mount point in
conjunction with NFS shares causes instability with the NFS shares.
Formats consist of NTFS, FAT32, and FAT. All three types can be used on
the storage server. However, VSS can only use volumes that are NTFS
formatted. Also, quota management is possible only on NTFS.

Network Adapter Teaming
Network adapter teaming is software-based technology used to increase a
server's network availability and performance. Teaming enables the logical
grouping of physical adapters in the same server (regardless of whether they
are embedded devices or Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
adapters) into a virtual adapter. This virtual adapter is seen by the network
and server-resident network-aware applications as a single network
connection.

Disk Management
Disk Management can be accessed after administrator login using Remote
Desktop. Disk Management is accessed by right-clicking on the My
Computer icon on the Desktop and then selects Manage option or using the
Windows Storage Server Management Console.
