A Shadow Copy trick

It turns out that you can access Previous Versions on a remote server from cmd. I thought CMD didn't have hooks for that, but it turns out it can. The syntax is weird:

U:\@GMT-2011.02.09-15:00:22\Dirname\
You have to know the exact time the snapshot was taken, but it's there for access. You can DIR that, copy out of it, even CD into it.

The same applies to UNCs. Prefix the @GMT syntax before the directory you're looking for.

This does NOT apply to local paths, alas.
