Vista - Shadow Copy - Can I configure how often?

Hello all,

I'm trying to get a better understanding of Vista's Shadow Copy. From what I
can tell, Shadow Copy is turned on by default, but I want to know can I set
when to make a shadow copy of a file or folder. Say for example, can I set
it to make a shadow copy every 4 hours? Or what schedule does Vista creates
shadow copies?

Thanks.

One thing to be clear about is the shadow copy works on the whole volume.
If that is what you want then running this script in task scheduler is one
way to get that.

Set Args = wscript.Arguments
If Args.Count() > 0 Then
RpName = Args.item(0)
Else
RpName = "Vbscript"
End If

Set obj =
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!root/default:SystemRestore")

If (obj.CreateRestorePoint(RpName, 0, 100)) = 0 Then
wscript.Echo "Success"
Else
wscript.Echo "Failed"
End If
