    Is it possible to use the "Previous Versions" Vista Shadow Copy feature on a stand-alone XP machine without a Win2003 Server?

    Windows XP has shadow copy in it. It just wasn't made as noticable like Vista. Go to the administrator options, click on services and you'll see two services for shadow copy that I think are set to manual.

    I don't know if it works the same as vista, I just know that there are in the xp services list.

    I know about the services

    I know that the services are there because they are needed to use VS features when connected to a Windows Server 2003, but as far as I know, you can't use "Previous Versions" without being on a server share. Does anyone know of a way to get that feature in XP stand-alone?
