Synchronize directories does not work with VolumeShadowCopy

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Synchronize directories does not work with VolumeShadowCopy

Post by *somescout »

Hello,

I've tried to use Directory Synchronization to synchronize with VSC (Volume shadow copy), but while TC can open VSC path (\\srv_filesrv\somefolder\@GMT-2016.08.11-09.00.44\), Synchronize directories throw error "Left/Right path is invalid".

Link the Shadow copy into your file system and you can use sync.
I do it with the following batch:

Code: Select all

@echo off
set /P id=Enter id:
mklink /D C:\Shadow_Copy \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy%id%\
Here my Button to invoke that batch:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
*%COMSPEC% /c
c:\Tools\ShadowExplorer\Link_Shadow_copy.cmd
C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll,176
Link Shadow copy

Indeed this isn't currently supported, sorry. Try the suggestion by Horst.Epp.
