tries to use VSS

Maybe this is a 7.2.x FLAW but I have entered this and the system seems
to LOSE this setting every once in a while. I don't know how or why, I
am (supposedly) the only one changing settings on backup servers and I
have never taken changed this but I have had to reset it several times
over the past year.
