There is a service called volume shadow copy that can help me to control my system restore points , this service can make me restore any thing ( e.g restore my files that I write at specific date ) , this service can make me control window c:\ operating system partition to make stable restore points that I can save and manipulate , VSS ( volume shadow copy service) can make me control the size of it at any partition (e.g 5 G ) , as we all know that VSS can help a lot beside backup , because it is so small and just save files indexes or nodes at any hard drive ( not the file it self )
my question is , when I started this service from computer right click
manage > services and applications > services > volume shadow copy
, and I configured it as automatic start , after that I start
storage > Disk management > c:\ , and I made right click > properties
, after that I did not find the shadow copy tab ! , what shall I do to get this tab ?
for more information's look to this three figures links
Update
1 – as twisty answer I made an update to the figures , I found previous version but no configure shadow copy
2 – also I made stop to the volume shadow copy service , and I made restore point and backup and I found that it's still work ! ?

The Shadow Copies tab had been renamed Previous Versions as shown in your 3rd screen shot. This is the case in at least Windows 7/Server 2008 and later (possibly even Vista and later).
Previous Versions/Shadow Copies are also configured differently in modern versions of Windows. A new command, Configure Shadow Copies, has been added to the context menu of a drive when accessed from My Computer.
