Introduction...
The Shadow Copy feature used to only be available in Microsoft Windows operating systems, however now it is actually integrated into Windows 7!

What is this, and why should I care?
The Volume Shadow Copy service on your computer makes copies of all data stored on your network drives, twice per day. By default If you ever make a mistake and need to go back in time to recover data, you can!

How do I use it?
Here is how you can recover lost or missing data from your hard drive:

1. Right click on the folder in question, and choose 'Properties'
2. Click on the 'Previous Versions' tab
3. A listing of previous versions will appear in the main window. Select the date and time which contains the files that you would like to restore, and click “Open”, “Copy”, or “Restore”
a) If you choose 'Open', a listing of files will appear, which you can open individually
b) If you choose 'Copy', you may specify a folder on your hard drive where recovered data will be copied
c) If you choose 'Restore', the current folder will be overwritten with the contents of the folder which you have chosen
