Windows 2003 Shadow copy
 

Is anyone using it on any production servers.

We currently use Novell which has a built in salvage files option which monitors when files are deleted and they get placed in a salvage folder for easy recovery by the admin team, without having to start restoring from Backup's.

How have you found the load SC puts on the disks during schedule? How often do you schedule your shadow? How useful have you found it?

I played with this on a server whilst I was on a training course and it locked up everytime the schedule ran. I had scheduled it to copy every 5 minutes though.

No one is using shadow copy? Is it really that good :rolleyes:

worked fine in our test lab and will be getting rolled out soonish q1 next year after load testing it.

Sorry, no. Our domain controllers are all 2003, but we have NAS devices for our data storage and they're all 2000 :(
