Hi.
Is there any way to setup shadow copy of a shared folder
instead of the entire volumn ?
The deal is that the server backups are kept on the same
volumn as our shared folder for the network.
It seems to me like if i was to enable the vss shadow copy
for that volumn, it would also shadow the server backups,
resulting in *alot* of wasted space on the drive.
I really like the idea of shadow copies, but short of
moving the server backups across the network to some other
computer, I'm not so sure that i should enable it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Would one idea be to create a mount point? Then just use shaddow copy on that one folder?
