Deleting a snapshot
Because Storage Mirroring Recover uses the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy service to
create snapshots, the snapshots can be managed through the Volume Shadow Copy
command line administrator. You can also view, copy, or restore files from the Previous
Version tab by accessing the file properties through a share using Windows Explorer.
See your Volume Shadow Copy documentation for details. Additionally, you can use the
scripting commands to delete snapshots on the target.
