Mount the disk image on Windows Server instance, from the mounted disk drive, go to Properties and then Previous Versions?

Yes, we looked around to find some that weren't where they were supposed to be and might have been open. Hoping that that might end up being all that the issue was.

I did not even see the post somehow. I can try and look at it later.
