The list of Shadow Copies can be view on a volume using the following method:

2.Click the 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.

4.6.Scheduling Shadow Copies

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.

It is recommended that shadow copies be scheduled not more frequently than once per hour.

Notes

When deleting a shadow copy schedule, that action has no effect on existing shadow copies (which have taken).
