Effectively you don't, until you see a Vista message saying "Windows has just recovered from an error".
At that point you are now running the Shadow system.
With presumably, another shadow created behind IT.

From what you describe, it seems that only recovery from a crash is allowed. Is there a way to force the OS to make a shadow copy?
Has your workplace adopted Vista already? How has it been?

It's already doing it, otherwise the recovery in Vista wouldn't be possible.
4 years ago I had a custom-made laptop. I got it from RockDirect. It had a Pentium 3.2GHz chip which was supposed to be a single core, but in Task Manager/Performance there were 2 graphs ~ ergo, it was a twin-core chip (before twin-core chips had been launched).
The point to this trip down memory lane is that the Rock Xtreme (with XP Pro) ran a shadow copy [b]by default[/b] without any prompting from me.
I reckon with the advent of Core2Duo, shadow copy will be more prevalent but the majority of users will simply never know about it.

Each shadow copy has unique ID associated with it that differentiates them.
If you go to your command prompt start>run>cmd the type vssadmin and it will show you commands relasted to viewing/modifying shadow copies.
