This viewer allows you to retrieve information about deleted shadow log records.
When a record is removed from the shadow log, the record’s binary data is deleted but meta-data (such as the file name and size, user name, date/time, process and so on) is moved to this log. The viewer of this log has the same columns as
Shadow Log Viewer (Server).
This log is used when you do not need the content of the shadow data anymore and you want to clean up the storage (either SQL Server or the disk) but at the same time you need to keep the information about the data transfer.
