Getting this installed still seems a little advanced - I'm not sure
where all the pieces go.   I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs a
little more instruction. It seems to me that if this works well, it
should be the default way to handle windows - looking at the logs I see
that I'm currently always missing a few files due to locks.


I finally found the files on the wiki:

http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net/User+Scripts+-+Client+-+Windows+VSS

and vshadow tools I downloaded from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0b4f56e4-0ccc-4626-826a-ed2c4c95c871&displaylang=en

The Volume Shadow Copy Service SDK 7.2 installs in:

c:\Program Files\Microsoft\VSSSDK72
        (with various copies of vshadow.exe sprinkled around)

and dosdev.exe from (as mentioned in the source):

http://www.ltr-data.se/files/dosdev.zip

What else is needed?  Is a full cygwin install needed?  Where do we put
these files?
