Shadow Copies Enabling and Creating Shadow Copies Enabling the Shadow Copies service for a volume or creating a shadow copy can be done directly from the Manage Shadow Copies page. Enabling shadow copies on a volume automatically results in several actions: ■ Creates a shadow copy of the selected volume ■ Sets the maximum storage space for the shadow copies ■ Schedules shadow copies to be made at 7 A.M. and 12 noon on weekdays. Note: Creating a shadow copy only makes one copy of the volume; it does not create a schedule. To enable shadow copies on a volume: 1. On the primary navigation bar, click Disks. 2. Click the Shadow Copies tab. 3. On the Manage Shadow Copies page, select one or more volumes to enable the Shadow Copies service on. Note: After the first shadow copy is created, it cannot be relocated. Relocate the cache file by altering the cache file location under Properties prior to enabling shadow copy. See "Viewing Shadow Copy Properties" in this chapter. 4. Click Enable. To create a shadow copy on a volume: 1. On the primary navigation bar, click Disks. 2. Click the Shadow Copies tab. 3.
