| Guest | Shadow Copy is not working I have vista ultimate and can't figure out a way to get "Previous versions" of files to work correctly. When check this tab all I ever see is "There are no previous versions available". Few things I've tried. Verified System Protection is enabled on c:\ (system) drive. Verified Printer and Filesharing was enabled on local connection. Disabled, rebooted and re-enabled system protection. The only error I get relating to this in the error logs is: "The VSS service is shutting down due to idle timeout." Here's what I get when checking vssadmin list shadowstorage: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000] Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Windows\system32>vssadmin list shadowstorage vssadmin 1.1 - Volume Shadow Copy Service administrative command-line tool (C) Copyright 2001-2005 Microsoft Corp. Shadow Copy Storage association For volume: (C \\?\Volume{ab76703b-6650-11dc-81ff-806e6f6e6963}\Shadow Copy Storage volume: (C \\?\Volume{ab76703b-6650-11dc-81ff-806e6f6e6963}\ Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 1.383 GB Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 1.881 GB Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 17.174 GB Shadow Copy Storage association For volume: (E \\?\Volume{bf5c5c91-7935-11dc-b1d6-000c41dd33ad}\Shadow Copy Storage volume: (E \\?\Volume{bf5c5c91-7935-11dc-b1d6-000c41dd33ad}\ Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 2.594 MB Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 100 MB Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 57.25 GB C:\Windows\system32> I would really, really like for this feature to work. Please help. |

| Guest | RE: Shadow Copy is not working Nevermind. I had been using TweakVista and had a few services that appeared to be completely unrelated to shadow copy disabled. Restoring default services fixed it immediately. "Sorter13" wrote:
