How to restore a shadow copy

(1/3) > >>

davidS:
Hello
I used the shadow copy and everything works good i can see the files on the server in .shadow, but not quite understand how to restore the files from the explorer
Can anyone please explain to me how ?
Thanks

How did you set it up ? Following a wiki page ? this one: http://wiki.contribs.org/ShadowCopy ?

I tried it some time ago... but it was taking much space (making a whole copy of ibay) so I left it just on one small ibay. How much space it takes to you ?

If I remember correctly the correct way to recover is to right-click the file and go to the "previous version" tab where all previous versions will show up.

hi
yes it does take some space but i need it .
the folder .shadow is in my home/e-smith/files folder and i didn't understand how to "restore from previous" from there .
also now in every ibay i have a short cut "@GMT-2013.05.13-20.43.13"  to the shadow copy folder of the ibay .
from windows explorer i can see only the ibays but not the shadow copy folder,and if i click right mouse and then "restore from privios" the list is empty and i need it to show the previos files.
i still didn't understend how to do it .

Jáder:
Do you right click the FILE and see no "previous version" tab ?

davidS:
right click ? where ?
1. how does windows explorer will know where is the shadows copy files are ? if they are in the server and on a hidden folder' this is what i don't understand.

the server creates the shadows files in /home/e-smith/files/.shadows,  how do i continue from there ?
please can someone explain to me step by step how to restore the files ?
