NOTE:
Shadow Copies for Shared Folders clients are not available for HTTP, FTP, AppleTalk, or NetWare
shares. Consequently, users of these protocols cannot use Shadow Copies for Shared Folders to
independently retrieve previous versions of their files. However, administrators can take advantage
of Shadow Copies for Shared Folders to restore files for these users.

SMB shadow copies

Windows users can independently access previous versions of files stored on SMB shares by using
the Shadow Copies for Shared Folders client. After the Shadow Copies for Shared Folders client is
installed on the user's computer, the user can access shadow copies for a share by right-clicking on
the share to open its Properties window, clicking the Previous Versions tab, and then selecting the
desired shadow copy. Users can view, copy, and restore all available shadow copies.
Shadow Copies for Shared Folders preserves the permissions set in the access control list (ACL) of
the original folders and files. Consequently, users can only access shadow copies for shares to which
they have access. In other words, if a user does not have access to a share, he also does not have
access to the share's shadow copies.
The Shadow Copies for Shared Folders client pack installs a Previous Versions tab in the Properties
window of files and folders on network shares.
Users access shadow copies with Windows Explorer by selecting View, Copy, or Restore from the
Previous Versions tab. (See
Figure
23). Both individual files and folders can be restored.
