File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is enbale. With vssadmin list shadows i can see the shadow copies, but in the previous version tab there are no entries. Probably following would answer your question An excerpt from David Shen's reply ****************** Do you mean that you cannot find the Previous Versions Tab on the server after you enable Shadow copy of a source volume on it? If so, this is normal for server side. And you are not missing anything just because the Previous Version tab is not available on server side. The Previous Version interface is used to view shadow copies on Server from the client is installed with client software. If you want to know the shadow copies, you can either see them in the Shadow Copies tab or you can run with the command "vssadmin list shadows" to dump the detailed information of VSS. Please check the following document for detailed information: How Shadow Copies for Shared Folders Work http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775919(WS.10).aspx ****************** Ref thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winserverfiles/thread/CBB76014-551D-4ECB-A83D-0B545493BDB0 I do not represent the organisation I work for, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

Hi, Is there no any previous version on destination? it seems that your backup destination is a network share, it should have a full backup version. However, network backups will save only the latest version of the backup, deleting the previous version, as multiple versions on the network share are not supported, you actually creating a full backup of them. For more details, please refer to: http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2009/04/13/customizing-windows-server-backup-schedule.aspx
