CAUTION:
If the data on the separate volume L: is lost, the shadow copies cannot be recovered.

Enabling and creating shadow copies

Enabling shadow copies on a volume automatically results in several actions:
• Creates a shadow copy of the selected volume.
• Sets the maximum storage space for the shadow copies.
• Schedules shadow copies to be made at 7 a.m. and 12 noon on weekdays.
NOTE:
Creating a shadow copy only makes one copy of the volume; it does not create a schedule.
NOTE:
After the first shadow copy is created, it cannot be relocated. Relocate the cache file by altering the cache
file location under Properties prior to enabling shadow copy. See
"Viewing shadow copy

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.
