Okay WHOA! I'm so excited right now that I came upon this thread.
have been racking my brain trying to figure out this exact thing. M
friend turned me on to this forum and I have to say that its a freakin
miracle!
Thank you so much for this! Shadow Copy Services - wow - okay. I kno
this is going to help me so much. All I know is that if I didn't find
solution - I was about ready to toss my computer out the window!
Have a great night
