Answer Wiki:
#Open Windows Explorer or the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Disk Management snap-in, then right-click the drive. # Select Properties from the context menu. # Select the Shadow Copies tab. # Under "Select a volume," select the volume for which you want to enable Shadow Copies. Click here to view image # Click Settings to configure VSS. # In the displayed dialog box, configure the settings to tell Windows 2003 where you want VSS to store the Shadow Copies (you can specify only the drive--you can't specify a folder) and the maximum amount of space to use for the Shadow Copies (at least 100MB), then click Schedule. #From the drop-down list in the Schedule dialog box, select a time to make a scheduled Shadow Copy. After you select a time, you can use the options in the dialog box to specify when VSS runs (i.e., the date and time). You can also click New to create a new schedule. #Click OK to exit the main Settings dialog box. In this way u can enable VSC or go thru gpedit.msc....
