I'd like to make a C# application that uses Volume Shadow Copy Service for backup/restore. How do I access the VSS API from C#? Check out AlphaVSS . I believe it's exactly what the doctor ordered. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6673826/how-to-use-volume-shadow-copy-using-c-sharp-in-vs2008

I've seen the question here , but I'm having difficulty understanding how to implement a system to read existing shadow copies from my system. Can someone provide a short sample of code that lets me browse existing shadow copies using either the MS API or Alpha's? FYI — this is older code and not easily adaptable (or at least not from my perspective) Nick Garvey Use AlphaVSS . It is a wrapper around the Windows API calls. In particular, the "QuerySnapshots" function will be applicable to you. In order to view the documentation you need to download AlphaVSS -- don't worry, it's free. If you are

Installing paint.net, I found a string Creating system restore point... I guess it is creating a restore point for Volume Shadow Service. -Isn't it? I'm not sure. If I'm right, how do I do this in my app? Let me know please if there are proper Apis. Alex K. You can do this using the System Restore API. See the documentation for the SRSetRestorePoint function, along with adetailed example . 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4711895/how-to-create-a-system-restore-point

after creating a VSS snapshot I'd like to be able to query the USN journal. Is this possible or is the USN journal not accessible from a VSS snapshot? my goal is to be able to use the USN journal in an incremental backup between two VSS snapshots . The process for the backup would be to take a VSS Snapshot and backup the volume, taking note of the USN entries for each file ...use the filesystem, add/delete/modify files take a second VSS snapshot, then use the USN journal to detect anything that changed during step #2 what I'm failing with right now is the part where I'm trying to get a hold of

I am attempting to create and access a Volume Shadow Copy snapshot using the Windows Power Shell in Windows 7. I found that I can create snapshots using the following via a previous superuser question : (Get-WmiObject -list win32_shadowcopy).create("C:\","ClientAccessible") I am unable to find any documentation indicating that it is possible to set a shadow copy to "Exposed" so that it can be mapped to a drive letter using WMI . An article linked in the same question shows a hack using a junction to access the snapshot. When I try to access the symlink, I get the following: PS C:\Windows
