Yeah, I can browse the folders and restore the files, it's just weird that earlier this week I had the ability to access previous versions of individual files from the Properties tab and now I don't. Unfortunately I work in a place where people resist workarounds to the extent that I want to punch them. If I hear "well I didn't have to do that before" one more time I may well snap :-)
I also like to try and fix anything untoward in case it is a symptom of some impending failure - classic support paranoia... 2009/5/15 Spencer Read <[email protected]> > If I’m understanding you then you should double click on the folder in > previous versions tab and an explorer window opens with all the files in. > > You can then just copy and paste what you need > > > > ...Spence > > > > *From:* James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]] > *Sent:* 15 May 2009 1:39 PM > *To:* NT System Admin Issues > *Subject:* Re: VSS query > > > > Yeah, but VSS only works over network drives, as I was reminded when I > tried. > > I am pretty sure I restored a file the other day and now the Previous > Versions tab is blank for files, but not folders.
