In my first blog post on Shadow Copy, I said that Previous Versions is available in the Ultimate, Business and Enterprise versions of Vista. This means that the feature is not available in Home and Home Premium versions.

It is true, although there is a twist. You don't have the ability to access the Previous Versions of files in Home and Home Premium, but the Previous Versions are still being made. One of the students in my Computer Forensics class pointed out this article. The article says that if you upgrade from Home or Home Premium to Ultimate, Business or Enterprise versions of Vista, then you can get access to the Previous Versions of your files.

This is great news for the forensic examiner as they have even more evidence to look at and Previous Versions can provide some of the best evidence on a disk.
