Hey folks,

I am running into a problem where several of our Windows 2003
servers are no longer creating shadow copies on their shares. The
Volume Shadow Copy service kicks off periodically like it should, but
there are no new copies being created (there is plenty of disk space
available).

However, I'm not necessarily looking for a fix on that front - it
would be nice to fix it, but I have a higher-level goal in mind - I need
to *test* to make sure these copies are being created on all of our file
servers. (I'm not actually a Windows file server admin, I'm the guy in
charge of network monitoring)

Is there a performance counter or anything of that nature I can
check to see when the last shadow copy was created? Something like
that? There are no errors logged to event log, so I cannot check that
for failures. I really need to be able to test for copies being created
(via Nagios if anyone is already doing it).

Any help/insight/clue-by-fours would be greatly appreciated!

Benny
