Is it possible to get a data restore point prior to 10-31-23 on a server that has no backup running and no restore points and No previous versions in Place.

The document indicates a Volume Shadow Copy snapshot that users could then right click and left click on
Restore Previous Versions
to do just that.
It&#39;s always a good idea to enable VSC for data volumes and have them snapshotted at the beginning of the work day, around coffee time, lunch, afternoon coffee, and then finally at the close of business.
If there are no backups, no VSC snapshots, no other file copy &quot;backup&quot; process like Carbonite then the answer is no.


you can do it if you restore the server to that date; that is if you have an image backup at the date you want
you probably want to create it on another disk or partition

can I create a Restore point out of thin air?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
