Shadow copy not working

[alvarogd]

I am a Vista Ultimate x64 user...

My problem is that the shadow copy service is not working. I have a lot of documents, images etc., but none of then have a "previous version".

System Restore is enabled, but I noticed that the "Volume Shadow Copy" service is set to manual and is not started. Should I set it to automatic?

Thanks for any help...

Hi,

That could be it - check to see if you have any system restore points.

Also check Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service is set. ( I believe the default setting is manual )

Hope this helps

I found this tutorial: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/122127-previous-versions-shadow-copy.html

TCP/IP NetBios Helper service was disabled, so I enabled it. It is working now, thanks.
