{page-title} Now go into the Windows File Explorer and right click the C: drive (or the drive you are working with). You should see an option called "Restore previous versions". Once you click on that you should see the available Shadow Copies (snapshots), click on the one you want to view. This will allow you to see what is being captured by VSS.
Note: Some Windows Server OS's do not allow you to view the Shadow Copy directly on the Windows Server you are working with. In this case you must install the Previous Versions client on another Windows OS and then view the Shadow Copy over the network. If you don't have any of the hard drives or partitions shared on the network you can always use the Administrative Share (C$) if working with the C: drive.

Be sure to delete any snapshots you created manually, and it is a good practice to clear out all snapshots if there is no current backup running or the Shadow Copy service is not being used natively for other purposes outside of CDP. There are more options than deleting 'all', type 'vssadmin delete shadows' to see those options.
