Windows Server - Previous Versions

Did you know that most common cause of data loss is human error? It is common for people to make mistakes when moving, organizing, or editing a file structure.

Our first line of defense is a feature of Windows called "Previous Versions." If your company has a file server, eTop has enabled Previous Versions.

  • To access this feature, right click in the folder, go to properties.

  • Select the "Previous Version" tab

  • Choose the date and time that the correct file or folder was last seen.

  • If you need to restore an entire folder, double click into the folder version and select the folder, then click "Restore" to restore a copy of the file to the correct location.

  • If you need to restore a single file, click Open and locate the missing file. You can drag it back to where it should be and then close the "previous version" window.
