- Shadow Copy - Client doesnt work - on Win2k
- Posted by Sam on September 13th, 2005
I configured shadow copy on Win2k3. I tested it using winXP prof. It works
fine. I also downloaded the latest shadow copy client from microsoft and
installed it on Windows 2000 professional with SP4. The version of shadow
copy client i have is 5.2.01
It doesnt seem to show any changes whatsoever on windows 2000 on previous
versions tab. Same Share is working fine from WinXP.
What am i missing? Any one please help!
Thanks in advance!

You need to install shadow copy client on W2k3 server too if you are
planning to use it from W2k machines. This information is outlined in setup
instructions on the download page for the shadow copy client 
Don't ask me why, basically it's because XP and W2k use slightly different
programming interface when accessing shadow copy data on the server, so u
need to install client on the server to for this interface being available
from W2k clients.
