Lurking in the Background it's ShadowExplorer, a Utility you'll think of as a better Time Machine

by Don Burnett

Some people know that Vista comes with a feature called Volume Shadow Copy. Few people know what that is outside of server administrators. But nonetheless, Vista comes with the ability to load up and revert to older versions of files that you have saved on your hard drive. Accessing this feature has been a one file at a time kind of thing until now.. Here comes ShadowExplorer.

While this utility might not be as "glitzy" as Apple's OS X time machine feature, ShadowExplorer certainly is quite  quick and easy to use to go back in time and revive old file versions that have been overwritten..
