Enable shadow copies

Shadow copies allow you to automatically create copies of files in designated folders.
Although convenient, you should not use shadow copies as an alternative to a true server
backup. They are not stored off site, and they cannot be easily managed.
The shadow copy system can store up to 64 copies of a file.
1. In the Server Manager, select Tools > Computer Management.
2. In the left menu, under Storage, select Disk Management.
3. Right-click the volume to shadow and select Properties.
4. Select the Shadow Copies tab.
5. If the volume to shadow is not selected, click it.
6. Click Settings below the list of volumes.
A dialog box displays.
7. Under Storage Area, specify the volume to store the shadow copies.
8. Under Maximum Size, specify the amount of space to allocate for shadow copies.
9. Click the Schedule button.
10. In the Schedule dialog box select the days and times to create the shadow copies.
11. Click OK.
