Creating disk snapshots in Windows 7
- by Puneet Arora
Does anyone know of a command or tool to create disk snapshots on Windows 7 (client SKU)?
I see vssadmin.exe has a "create shadow" option, but that's available only on server SKUs: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc788055(v=ws.10).aspx
I've a backup tool that replicates changes (creations, modifications and deletions to files and directories) since last backup, to my backup volume. Before each time this happens I want to create a persistent snapshot on my backup volume. I could then mount previous snapshots to view previous backups achieving a behavior similar to that of TimeMachine in OS X.
This question has been asked before but unfortunately there weren't any good answers: Taking snapshots of filesystem/volume in Windows 7?
