VSS error on Truecrypt/Veracrypt volumes

[andywits]

When running in Windows, a backup is not created from any folder on Trucrypt/Veracrypt volume:

Starting backup of D:\
Creating VSS Snapshot...panic: Snapshots are not supported for drive D:\, err: VSS error: IVssBackupComponents.IsVolumeSupported: VSS_E_UNEXPECTED_PROVIDER_ERROR - The shadow copy provider had an unexpected error while trying to process the specified operation.

The official Veracrypt documentation shows that VSS is not supported
( https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Issues%20and%20Limitations.html ):
The Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service is currently supported only for partitions within the key scope of active system encryption (e.g. a system partition encrypted by TrueCrypt, or a non-system partition located on a system drive encrypted by TrueCrypt, mounted when the encrypted operating system is running). Note: For other types of volumes, the Volume Shadow Copy Service is not supported because the documentation for the necessary API is not available.

Perhaps the solution would be to launch without using VSS, but I did not find such an option.

We could add a switch to disable vss , but then you must be 100% sure that you don't have open files Il lun 15 lug 2024, 09:21 Andy Wits ***@***.***> ha scritto:

Oh, that would be great if you did!
Yes, I understand that checking open files will be my responsibility.
