I don't mind the banner though.Edited 2009-06-10 00:46 UTC Wed, 10 Jun 2009 00:45:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (John Blink) Comments IBM http://www.osnews.com/thread?367689 http://www.osnews.com/thread?367689 I had to use the IBM site when I was attempting to RMA a drive. When I specified that I was from the UK it popped up a warning that IBM regarded English as the international language of business and apologised for any inconvenience.

Setting up shadow copies/previous versions on a NTFS volume takes about 10 seconds. It's right there on the volume properties dialog, it's just a matter of enabling it and defining the schedule. It is just that simple.

This on server versions of Windows (2003, 2008). On client versions I never looked at it, but Vista Ultimate/Business/Enterprise also has this feature, and I suppose the UI should be exactly the same.

The home versions of Vista don't have it though. And XP only has the client version (the ability to revert to previous versions on shares exported from a server).

Oh, and creating volume snapshots is also available in Linux with LVM. And it's also instantaneous.Edited 2009-06-11 15:17 UTC Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:14:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (CrLf) Comments
