asked on Windows 7 Ultimate - cannot turn on VSS Shadow Copy Service to save Previous Versions
Hi Experts,
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
I want to turn on VSS Shadow Copy Service - so that I can save Previous Versions.
Windows Help says:
But when I right-click Shared Folders, the only menu items are View, Export List and Help.
I have also clicked my way all around the Actions section on the right hand side of the screen - still no sign of Configure Shadow Copies?
Regards,
Leigh

Windows Help says:
Shadow Copies of Shared Folders. This feature is an extension to the Shared Folders Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in.
To open Shadow Copies of Shared Folders, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management. In the console tree, right-click Shared Folders, click All Tasks, and then click Configure Shadow Copies.
But when I right-click Shared Folders, the only menu items are View, Export List and Help.
I have also clicked my way all around the Actions section on the right hand side of the screen - still no sign of Configure Shadow Copies?
Regards,
Leigh

Hi AtB,
Sorry, I not quite sure by what you meant by "See first replay"?
If you meant me to:
Create this registry parameter:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
I created a new DWORD value = 1.
It did not fix the problem.

Hi AtB,
I navigated to the Control Panel | System | System Protection as described in the TechRepublic artice.
But the options that are there do not let me configure anything to do with VSS.

See below: the screendump shows how you get to the VSS Shadow Copy Service configuration on a Server 2008 system.
The "All Tasks" part is not appearing on my Windows 7 system.
