La mayoría hemos oido hablar de Shadow Copy o como los describe Windows Vista, "Restore Points".

I really Congratulate the windows File system development team for making this feature introduced in VISTA. It is really tough to develop such features. I feel Driver team has also done great job by Improving the NTFS performance in Vista, it is pretty good compared to XP NTFS.

This is a great feature, but I really think you screwed up by making it only available to Business, Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Vista. Home users are just as likely to accidentally erase or damage a file, and are far less likely to do a home backup. This could have been your "Time Machine" - to pull an example from the other OS, though TM maps more closely to traditional backup software. You would even have the advantage over that other OS given that the shadow copies are made automatically w/out user intervention without requiring a second drive. (Yes, it won't be a safe backup if it sits on the same drive, but most folks aren't going to hook up a second disk immediately and perpetually to a new computer.) You could even make it offer the better of both worlds by setting it offer to do an automatic backup if a large external drive is hooked up to it. In other words, Shadow Copies could have been a great killer feature, but you neutered it for most customers.

Is there a way to set the shadow copies to be made as you're making changes to a file RATHER than at set scheduled times?

If I make a file, make some changes, and then accidentally delete the file -- all within 5 minutes, then Shadow Copy will not help in this case if Vista hadn't been scheduled to make a restoration point within that 5 minutes.

If you can do this, then please let me know how as it's not very apparent how to do this.

Shadow Copy also works for folders. What you see is the version of the folder that existed at the selected point-in-time. Note that it can be a little confusing to browse a previous version of a folder (or the entire disk) side-by-side with the live version -- the per-file restore experience is much better for typical usage.

And yes, you will see files in the folder Shadow Copy that are deleted on the live version, just like you will see older versions of files that are newer on the live one.

Shadow copies are managed and maintained at the volume (disk) level. To delete a file and all previous versions of it, you need to delete all shadow copies for its volume.

Is this previous folders functionality implemented for folders as well or only for files? Because it's good if it's only for files, that way you cannot access a deleted file's properties, but if it's for folders, then it raises security/privacy concerns which the entire blogosphere is talking about - that some purposefully deleted stuff can be easily recovered. Have you considered this?
