NOTE:

To check the cluster size of a volume, use the fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo command. To change

the cluster size on a volume that contains data, back up the data on the volume, reformat it using the

new cluster size, and then restore the data.

Mounted drives

A mounted drive is a local volume attached to an empty folder (called a mount point) on an NTFS

volume. When enabling shadow copies on a volume that contains mounted drives, the mounted drives

are not included when shadow copies are taken. In addition, if a mounted drive is shared and shadow

copies are enabled on it, users cannot access the shadow copies if they traverse from the host volume

(where the mount point is stored) to the mounted drive.

For example, assume there is a folder F:\data\users, and the Users folder is a mount point for

G:\. If shadow copies are enabled on both F:\ and G:\, F:\data is shared as \\server1\data,

and G:\data\users is shared as \\server1\users. In this example, users can access previous

versions of \\server1\data and \\server1\users but not \\server1\data\users.

Managing shadow copies

The vssadmin tool provides a command line capability to create, list, resize, and delete volume shadow

copies.

The system administrator can make shadow copies available to end users through a feature called

“Shadow Copies for Shared Folders.” The administrator uses the Properties menu (see Figure 28) to

turn on the Shadow Copies feature, select the volumes to be copied, and determine the frequency

with which shadow copies are made.
