To copy a previous version of a file to a new location

Locate the file that you want to copy (on the network), right-click the file, and click Properties. The Properties dialog box will appear.
On the Previous Versions tab, click the version of the file that you want to copy and click Copy.
In the Copy Items dialog box, click a new location to place the file and click Copy.

Notes

If the Previous Versions tab does not appear in the Properties dialog box, Shadow Copies of Shared Folders might not be enabled on the file server. Shadow copies are copies of files that are located on the server and appear as previous versions. Please contact your administrator for more information.
If there are no previous versions listed, the file has not changed since the oldest copy was taken.
When you use Copy, the file permissions will be set to the default permissions for the directory where the copy of the file is placed.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
