Editing Shadow Copy (section)

==Compatibility==
While the different [[NTFS]] versions have a certain degree of both [[Forward compatibility|forward]] and [[backward compatibility]], there are certain issues when mounting newer NTFS volumes containing persistent shadow copies in older versions of Windows. This affects dual-booting, and external portable hard drives. Specifically, the persistent shadow copies created by Windows Vista on an NTFS volume are deleted when Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 mount that NTFS volume. This happens because the older operating system does not understand the newer format of persistent shadow copies.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://blogs.technet.com/filecab/archive/2006/07/14/441829.aspx | title=How restore points and other recovery features in Windows Vista are affected when you dual-boot with Windows XP | date=14 July 2006 | work=File Cabinet Blog | publisher=[[Microsoft]] | access-date=21 March 2007 | archive-date=18 July 2006 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060718011852/http://blogs.technet.com/filecab/archive/2006/07/14/441829.aspx | url-status=dead }}</ref> Likewise, System Restore snapshots created by Windows 8 are deleted if they are exposed to a previous version of Windows.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa378727.aspx | title=Calling SRSetRestorePoint | work = [[MSDN Library]] |publisher=[[Microsoft]] | quote=Snapshots of the boot volume created by System Restore running on Windows 8 may be deleted if the snapshot is subsequently exposed by an earlier version of Windows. | access-date=1 February 2015 }}</ref>
