You must not rely on the fact that the previous version was still there. Like, for example, there is only one version saved every few days.

Yes that's normal? The shadow copies do not become instant and permanent system restore points. So if you create a file and after eg 1 hour anderst is normal. When using the function it always looked like this to me but at regular intervals in the background.

Without the service hours looking for something useful too. Googled for hours, for the shadow copies, no recovery points.

 

Does anyone know a suitable solution recovery points thanks. I backup my data myself, but I did not want to turn off the shadow copies, but set recovery points at the same time.

Maybe after some Windows updates I do a full backup so that I can recover Windows if it does.
