Re: vssadmin.exe questions

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hello Chris,

Extracted from:
http://www.petri.co.il/what's_shadow_copy_on_windows_server_2003.htm

The files used by Shadow copy will be placed under the C:\System Volume Information folder, where you'll find a large (~100mb) file, called tracking.log, plus 2 files with a name corresponding to a unique GUID (thanks to Yuval Sinai for this information).


Best regards

I'm playing vssadmin.exe command on my test server (win2k3). I was
able to generate a shadow copy for D:. Is there a way to see the
physical shadow copy file, such as Windows Explorer? I only can view
it through vssadmin list shadows.

thanks in advance.
