You can also use TimeTraveler from Bears on the Loose. It lets you access Previous Versions on all editions of the Vista and Windows 7. It presents the shadow copies on a timeline that it adds to Windows Explorer. You simply move a time cursor on the timeline to access your files at prior time. The advantage is that you get the rich feature set of Explorer on the shadow copies: drag and drop, search etc. TimeTraveler allows you to compare different versions of your files and it comes with GUI to configure and schedule shadow copies.

If you have a file to recover immediately try TimeTraveler. It is free for 10 days and then it is really not expensive.

Hello,

This is a great program! However, I have a question. I deleted some files on accident yesterday (May 30th), completely even out of my recycle bin. I downloaded Shadow Explorer today, and was not able to see the files I accidentally deleted. I also deleted some files today, after I downloaded Shadow Explorer, to see if they would show up, and they did not. I did, however, saw files deleted from the day before yesterday, but not the ones from yesterday. Does it take a couple days for deleted files to show up??

Thanks!

This program is a lifesaver. We lost 43.1GB of data in 670 files when they were somehow accidentaly deleted. They were not in the Recycle Bin and we don’t really know how it happened – but ShadowExplorer got almost all of them back – the only files that could not be recovered had really deeply nested folders. Be warned, it takes HOURS to recover this much data – just be patient and trust ShadowExplorer to get on with it.
Fantastic program and great How-to. Paid �45 to a local PC maintenance tech to try ( and fail ) to recover these files. I sorted it for free with this programme and recovered data that had taken volunteers days to scan in. Thinks its worth a donation…

Thanks – this has been a life-saver. I combed various programs for hours to get my deleted Documents folder back. Shadow Copy saved my life. Great Work !!
