how to stop shadow copy recursive mount points following

[Guest forum.ben.yosef.mail@googlemail.com]

Hi,

 

using server 2008 (32/64 version) i noticed mount points are recursive

followed especially in this case (see steps 1-2), has anyone knows how

it can be stopped?

 

step 1 ) mounting shadow copy of volume X on volume X

step 2) create additional shadow copy of the same volume X and mount

it again on volume

x(different location)

 

as result the second mounted shadow copy(step 2) contains the first

mount point of the previous shadow(step 1)

1. in server 2003 the behavior was different, mounted shadows where

not followed

2. now the first mount point as two paths, the original and inside the

second mounted

shadow copy

3. after few steps as above, my machine crash

 

my questions?

1. can i programmatic (or in other means) can change the behavior to

what it was on 2003

2. is that possible to exclude the directory that include the mounted

shadow copies (all

reside in the same folder in my application) as requester

(IVssBackupComponents)

 

[using the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet

\Control

\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup or

\snapshot... helps but only

some times, i suppose it's since the exclude describe as "best

effort" in msdn

documentation]

 

thx,

Eyal.
