    If shadow copies are enabled on the server that's all you need to do.

    Users can access their files / folders via their user folders on the server.

    You may need to access these files via a UNC path eg: \\servername\sharename\user-folder

    On the server you must view it via a UNC path as above.

    You can right-click on the files / folder and the previous versions tab should be visible.
