Question about volume shadow copy
If I go into the properties of any folder or file, and then to the Restore Previous Versions tab, I have several snapshots to choose from. I thought this was a feature of the Volume Shadow Copy service
( Shadow Copy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
however, when I look at my list of services, via services.msc, the "volume shadow copy" service is set to Manual start, and is currently Stopped. If it's not running, how is it I have these "previous versions" snapshots? I assumed if the service isn't running, there would be no snapshots being captured.
I'm not complaining, only curious to learn. Can someone clarify please? TIA
