Just to put the references I read in the past about it:

Windows 2003 Derver implementation (for server side copies of client user files)
Working with the Windows Server 2003 Volume Shadow Copy Service
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Windows-Server-2003-Volume-Shadow-Copy-Service.html
Summary:
- named "shadow copy"
- works by NTFS volume (equivalent to *ix filesystem)
- config number of copies or a % of the volume space for copies
- config automatic copies per day
- from the GUI it is accessed by the Properties/Previous Versions tab
(What if the original file is deleted? the oldest is promoted?)
