This is a test environment that I'm using to study for MCSA-2003.

I have an eval copy of Server 2003 - SP2 on one computer. On another
computer I'm running Virtual PC 2007 as the client (XP Pro SP2). Everything
works fine as far as AD, DNS, Shares, etc.

I have 2 hard drives in the server. On the C: volume I turned on Shadow
Copy and scheduled it to run every day at 11:00am. As I write this, that
was 50 minutes ago.
The Shadow Copy storage location is on the 2nd drive.
Under the Properties/Shadow Copies Tab, in the box for "Shadow Copies for
Selected Volume" is the copy that ran at 11:00am. But, when I open a shared
folder from my client PC, and click on the Previous Versions Tab, nothing is
there.

I see no errors in Event Viewer that would indicate a problem with VSS.

How do I troubleshoot this to find out why I have no Previous Versions?

Thanks
 
Re: Need help troubleshooting VSS

Never mind. I figured it out; none of the files had been changed. Once I
changed one, there was a Previous Version.
