→Using Computer Management to Configuring Shadow Copies
Once the Shadow Copy system has been configured the ''shadow copy client'' needs to be set up on the systems of any users that are likely to need to be able to restore files in the shared folder.
== Using Computer Management to Configuring Enable and Configure Volume Shadow Copies == Shadow Copy is enabled on a per volume basis. Once configured on a volume, all shared folders residing on that volume will automatically be shadowed. Shadow Copy can be configured either graphically using the ''Computer Management'' tool or via the command prompt. Command-line configuration of Shadow Copy will be covered in a later section of this chapter. This section will focus on Computer Management configuration. The first step is to launch the Computer Management configuration tool (Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management''). Once invoked, select ''Storage -> Disk Management'' from the tree in the left panel to display the disk and volume information for the local system. In the graphical view, right click on the volume for which shadow copy is to enabled and click on ''Properties'' to launch the properties dialog. In the properties dialog, select the ''Shadow Copy'' tab to display the Shadow Copy properties as illustrated in the following figure: [[Image:windows_server_2008_shadow_copy_properties.jpg|The Shadow Copy Properties Panel]]
