I have not found any disadvantages of shadow copy... I have been able to restore accidentally deleted files in seconds.

<div>
Are there any recomended settings when setting it up?

<div>
I've never tweaked the settings....you have a couple things you can customize but I've not ever had a need to change the defaults... Just fired it up.

I enabled it but unsure of how it works. &nbsp;I set it to 12PM. &nbsp;

We have a windows 2003 network with mapped drives and shared folders. &nbsp;Once in a while Ill get a call that someone had accidently deleted something on the network and since it wasnt deleted locally the only way as of now to get the file back is through a tape backup. &nbsp;Is there a script or setting that will allow deleted network files to go into the recycle bin of that server. &nbsp;If not what are the advantages / disadvantages / recomended settings for shadow coping.<br />
Thanks

Shadow Copy

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
