'Can you use Volume Shadow Copy Service Snapshots on removable flash drives?
Hi I have a quick question - can you use Volume Shadow Copy Service snapshots on removable flash drives? I am making a data backup program that uses Volume Shadow Copy Service to back up drives. When I back up external hard drives setting up the VSS snapshot works well with drive type DRIVE_FIXED as returned by GetDriveType. When I try to back up a thumb drive setting up the VSS snapshot (specifically the AddToSnapshotSet function) fails with VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_SUPPORTED ffffffff8004230c as reported by the VSS API functions. GetDriveType returns drive type DRIVE_REMOVABLE. All the drives are NTFS. Is it possible to use VSS snapshots to back up thumb drives? Do I have to enable it for the drive? Thanks!
