How to grant volume shadow copy permission ?
Hello,
We have a Windows 2003 domain with Windows XP clients. We would like the normal users to be able to run a backup program which uses the volume shadow copy feature of Windows XP. How can we grant the normal user account to create VSS snapshots ? Best regards, Vincent |

The server where volume shadow copy is enabled can be set up to do snapshots twice a day (I wouldn't recommend more). Since you're on a domain, your users shouldn't have anything stored on their workstations anyway - all data should be on the server. Workstation backups should not be needed. |

Hi, I'm refferring to the ability of an application to temporarily create a snapshot of the volume while the backup process takes place, which I think is reffered as a "non persistent" snapshot. It is present since Windows XP and the NTBackup application has a checkbox to enable it. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...8VS.85%29.aspx |

I'd always known that the *client* can run on WinXP, but VSS proper for W2003: http://technet2.microsoft.com/window....mspx?mfr=true Now, that being said, your link refers to SDK stuff which isn't a native part of XP and which I've never seen, so I can't speak to that. Not sure how to help you; as mentioned previously, what you're doing really shouldn't be necessary in a well-organized network, as there should be nothing of any importance on your workstations. Sorry I can't help further. |
