Hi,
To work with shadowcopy in PowerShell, you can utilize WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) classes through PowerShell. Specifically, the Win32_ShadowCopy WMI class provides access to shadowcopy-related operations.
1. List Shadow Copies:
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ShadowCopy
2. Create a Shadow Copy:
(Get-WmiObject -List Win32_ShadowCopy).Create("C:\", "ClientAccessible")
3. Delete a Shadow Copy:
(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ShadowCopy | Where-Object { $_.ID -eq 'shadowcopyID' }).Delete()
