Parameters

Parameter

Description

[differential | plex]

Specifies to the provider the type of shadow copy to create.

[transportable]

Specifies that the shadow copy is not to be imported yet. The metadata .cab file can later be used to import the shadow copy to the same or a different computer.

[rollbackrecover]

Signals writers to use autorecover during the PostSnapshot event. This is useful if the shadow copy will be used for rollback (for example, with data mining).

[txfrecover]

Requests VSS to make the shadow copy transactionally consistent during creation.

[noautorecover]

Stops writers and the file system from performing any recovery changes to the shadow copy to a transactionally consistent state. Noautorecover cannot be used with txfrecover or rollbackrecover.
