volume shadow copy

Volume Shadow Copy is a Windows feature that creates snapshots of your data, capturing the state of your files and system at specific moments. It allows users to access or restore previous versions of files without shutting down programs or overall system. This is useful for recovering unintentionally changed, deleted, or corrupted files while the computer is running. Think of it as a backup snapshot taken automatically at certain intervals, ensuring you can retrieve earlier versions if needed, enhancing data protection and recovery flexibility.
