Default Shadow Copy issue

Hi,
I made this test..

1) Created a folder called test
2) Folder is saved on desktop
3) Made a system restore at this point
4) Deleted the test folder from desktop and removed from recycle bin
5) Tried to restore a shadow copy, but none is available
What is wrong?
I have Vista Ultimate (danish) no SP1 yet
Regards

How did you try to restore this shadow copy? By restoring back to a
point prior to the restore point you created?

Shadow Copies doesn't work like that. If you accidentally overwrite a
file, right-click on the file, then select "Restore Previous Verions".
In the case of a deleted file, right-click on the folder that contained
the file.

Default Re: Shadow Copy issue

The issue is that there are no "previous versions"
Neither changing the content, deleting or overwrite a folder, made "previous
versions" available.
In my test after deleting the folder, after making a restore point, and
trying to retrieve it again from "previous versions" did not work.
Example a subfolder folder called "test", saved in my documents folder and
accidentally deleted after restore point could not be restored as shadow copy.

If you have a suggestion about how to perform such a test, please let me know.
Regards

Default Re: Shadow Copy issue

Where are you looking for/how are you trying to invoke "Previous Versions"?

It should be a tab on file or folder properties; it isn't AFAIK a context
menu/right-click thing for example.

Lookin in the normally hidden system folder "System Volume Information" -
could you list the file you see there with their sizes? I suspect there will
be files if creating a System Restore point was reported as successful...
if so the question remains how to get at them. If we knew e.g. the
properties tab was missing that would be a start...
