HP StoreEasy 1000 - Managing Shadow Copies; The Shadow Copy Cache File

users can access previous versions of \\server1\data and \\server1\users but not
\\server1\data\users.
Managing shadow copies
The vssadmin tool provides a command line capability to create, list, resize, and delete volume
shadow copies.
The system administrator can make shadow copies available to end users through a feature called
“Shadow Copies for Shared Folders.” The administrator uses the Properties menu (see
Figure 35 (page 59)) to turn on the Shadow Copies feature, select the volumes to be copied, and
determine the frequency with which shadow copies are made.

The shadow copy cache file
The default shadow copy settings allocate 10 percent of the source volume being copied (with a
minimum of 350 MB), and store the shadow copies on the same volume as the original volume.
(See Figure 36 (page 59)). The cache file is located in a hidden protected directory titled “System
Volume Information” off of the root of each volume for which shadow copy is enabled.
