Hi,
I am working on an application that makes use of Microsoft VSS service.
What I need to know is when I take a snapshot of a particular volume I don’t find many of the system files also $Bitmap, $MFT , $AttrDef, etc files in the snapshot,
I am creating the snapshot using the following command,
“vshadow.exe -p -ad F:”
How can I include all these files too in the snapshot? What command will help to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
If NTFS mounts on your snapshot volume, the snapshot volume should
have the NTFS metadata files like $MFT, $BITMAP, etc. In the absence
of these files, NTFS simply cannot function.
Certain files do get deleted during the snapshot process by, from what
I recall, some Delete Writer [not sure of the exact name] which goes
and deletes certain files in the system as registered in the registry.
Some details on the reg paths @
