I may be totally misremembering, but I thought that ntbackup itself
uses VSS to take a stable snapshot.... this does not of course
necessarily guarantee that exchange has written all pending writes to
disk and is in a stable state... but at least the disk itself is
synced & stably represented in the VSS snapshot.
