Hi Mark No. It only records the state of the files for later to check if a file has been changed. Yes, and it should. You decide. You can specify a max. consumption. Beyond that, oldest copy/copies will be erased to make room for the new. The drive for backups doesn't need to be fast. Get a huge SATA drive and you are set. Please note, shadow copies are in general not a replacement for a normal full backup. However, they are accessible from the properties pane of the drive even for the (super)user and easy to use - a real life-saver when a user overwrites a worksheet or similar. /gustav >>> marksimms at verizon.net 25-01-2012 15:36 >>> The first pass will backup ALL files, no ? Also, the shadow can't be on another volume can it ? If not, what about the space requirement ? Do I need to double my storage avails ? > Yes, volumes only. But what does it matter?
