卷影复制或卷影复制服务( VSS ) 是^(VSS)Microsoft Windows中预包含的服务，允许手动或自动创建卷快照。该服务创建整个NTFS卷的卷影副本并将其存储在同一个卷中，它是一种备份和还原服务，但如何浏览这些卷影？

Shadow Copy功能仅在Pro、Business和Enterprise等更高版本的Windows中可用，而在Home等版本中不可用。如果您的Windows版本不允许卷影复制浏览，那么您肯定可以选择这个惊人的，名为ShadowExplorer的小而快速的影子副本探索实用程序。

适用于 Windows 10 的 ShadowExplorer

卷影副本会自动保存为^(Shadow)系统^(System) 属性^(Properties)中还原点的一部分。如果打开系统保护， ^{(System Protection)}Windows会自动创建自上次创建还原点以来已修改的文件的卷影副本，通常每天一次。这使您可以从意外删除或更改的文件中检索旧版本。

默认情况下，此服务在所有版本上都已打开，但如前所述，Microsoft仅在特定版本中授予对这些副本的访问权限。要获取任何文件的先前版本，请右键单击该文件并选择Restore Previous Versions。或者，也可以选择“属性^(Properties)”，然后单击“以前的版本^(Versions)”框，以查看可用版本。

ShadowExplorer是一个免费实用程序，允许您使用和访问由Windows创建的所有影子文件。您可以使用这些时间点副本将文件检索回以前的版本。ShadowExplorer允许您浏览由Windows 卷影复制服务^{(Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service)}创建^{(Shadow Copies)}的卷影副本。它对于家庭^(Home)版的用户特别有用，他们默认无权访问卷影副本。它显示可用的时间点副本，让您浏览卷影副本^{(Shadow Copies)}，还可以检索文件和文件夹的版本。

关于这个实用程序几乎没有什么可说的。它具有干净且易于使用的界面，具有最少的定制。ShadowExplorer非常小巧，有两种变体——安装型和便携型。

使用卷影副本是一个不错的选择，但它不能替代常规备份。但是，您可以在紧急情况下使用它，或者只是忘记备份。卷影副本的另一个限制是它们保存在同一个卷中。如果磁盘崩溃，带有数据的备份也会消失，所以这里没有任何用处。您可以将卷影副本添加与常规备份一起使用，但您无法真正替换它。

ShadowExplorer非常有用，而且是必备实用程序。非常易于使用和操作，并且总是有助于实用程序。它使您可以访问Windows^(Windows)的隐藏功能，并使您更容易访问这些文件。它始终可以获取文件的早期版本并为您恢复它们。

您还可以使用它从系统还原点恢复文件^{(recover files from a System Restore Point)}。

提示^(TIP)：Windows 10中的文件历史记录会保存您的库、桌面^(Desktop)、收藏夹^(Favorites)和联系人^(Contacts)的副本，以便您可以随时找回它们（如果它们丢失或损坏）。

How to use ShadowExplorer to access & restore Shadow Copies

Shadow Copy or Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSЅ) is a pre-included service in Microsoft Windowѕ that allows manual or automatic snapshots of a volume. The service creates shadow copіes of the entire NTFS volumе and stores it in the same volume, it іs a kind of backup and restore serviсe, but how to browse these shadow volumes?

The Shadow Copy features are available only in the higher Windows versions like Pro, Business, and Enterprise, and not in versions like Home, etc. If your version of Windows does not allow shadow copy browsing, then you can surely go for this amazing, tiny, and fast shadow copies exploring utility called ShadowExplorer.

ShadowExplorer for Windows 10

Shadow copies are automatically saved as part of a restore point in System Properties. If System Protection is turned on, Windows automatically creates shadow copies of files that have been modified since the last restore point was made, which is typically once a day.  This allows you to retrieve older versions from files you accidentally deleted or altered.

This service is turned on by default on all versions, but as mentioned, Microsoft grants access to these copies only in select editions. To get the previous versions of any file, one right-clicks the file and selects Restore Previous Versions. Alternatively one can also select Properties instead and then click on the Previous Versions box, to see the available versions.

ShadowExplorer is a free utility that allows you to use and gain access to all the shadow files created by Windows. You can use those point-in-time copies to retrieve your files back to the previous versions. ShadowExplorer allows you to browse the Shadow Copies created by the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service. It’s especially useful for users of the Home editions, who don’t have access to the shadow copies by default. It shows available point-in-time copies, lets you browse through Shadow Copies, and also retrieves versions of files and folders.

There is very little to say about this utility. It has a clean and easy-to-use interface with minimal customization. Very tiny, ShadowExplorer is available in two variants – the setup and the portable variant.

Using shadow copies is a good option but it cannot replace regular backups. However, you can use it in an emergency or if you simply forgot to take a backup. Another limitation of shadow copies is that they are saved in the same volume. If the disk crashes, the backups with the data are also gone, so no point of use here. You can use shadow copies addition with regular backups but you can’t really replace it.

ShadowExplorer is very useful, and a must-have utility. Very easy to use and operate and always helping utility. It makes a hidden feature of Windows accessible to you and makes it easier for you to access those files. It can always get previous versions of your files and recover them for you.

You can also use it to recover files from a System Restore Point.
