Why can't I access previous Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshots from the Windows Server 2003 server that hosts the Shadow Copied share?

A. If you right-click the shared folder and select Properties, you won't see the Previous Versions tab associated with VSS. Instead, you must connect to the share to access the previous snapshots. For a quick solution, connect to \localhost$ to open a Windows Explorer window at the root of the drive or connect to \localhost to open a Windows Explorer window at the share. From either location, you can right-click any folder or subfolder on the drive and select Properties to view the Previous Versions tab.
