But don’t you WANT shadow copy to run?  It’s now the official way to get a stable image of a running drive, right?

What extra stuff is getting backed up that you want to exclude, Justin?

Shadow Copy Components:\ will not be backed up if Volume Shadow Copy service is disabled.

With ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES as backup selection, NetBackup calls the VSC service to create the Shadow Copy Components:\.  When the service is disabled, Shadow Copy Components:\ cannot be created therefore it is not backed up.

There will be no errors for the backup job, but in the Event Viewer you will see an error that Volume Shadow Copy service was trying to start but that it is disabled and cannot start.

Will that fail backups or will it skip the Shadow Copy Components?
