Parameters
|

Examples
|
To list all shadows, including their aliases, type:
|
list shadows all
|
The following excerpt shows a shadow copy to which the default alias, VSS_SHADOW_x, has been assigned:
|
* Shadow Copy ID = {ff47165a-1946-4a0c-b7f4-80f46a309278}
|
%VSS_SHADOW_1%
|
To assign a new alias with the name System1 to this shadow copy, type:
|
add alias System1 %VSS_SHADOW_1%
|
Alternatively, you can assign the alias by using the shadow copy ID:
|
add alias System1 {ff47165a-1946-4a0c-b7f4-80f46a309278}
|
add volume
|
Adds volumes to the Shadow Copy Set, which is the set of volumes to be shadow copied. When a shadow copy is created, an environment variable links the alias to the shadow ID, so the alias can then be used for scripting.
|
Volumes are added one at a time. Each time a volume is added, it's checked to make sure VSS supports shadow copy creation for that volume. This check can be invalidated by later use of the set context command.
|
This command is necessary to create shadow copies. If used without parameters, add volume displays help at the command prompt.
|
Syntax
|
add volume <volume> [provider <providerid>]
|
Parameters
|

Description
|
<volume>

|
[provider \<providerid>]
|
Specifies the Provider ID for a registered provider to use to create the shadow copy. If provider is not specified, the default provider is used.
|
<volume>
|
[provider \<providerid>]
|
Examples
|
To view the current list of registered providers, at the diskshadow> prompt, type:
|
diskshadow>
|
list providers
|
The following output displays a single provider, which will be used by default:
|
* ProviderID: {b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5}

To add drive C: to the Shadow Copy Set and assign an alias named System1, type:
|
add volume c: alias System1
|
add
|
Adds volumes to the set of volumes that are to be shadow copied, or adds aliases to the alias environment. If used without subcommands, add lists the current volumes and aliases.
|

Aliases are not added to the alias environment until the shadow copy is created. Aliases that you need immediately should be added by using add alias.

|
add

add volume <volume> [provider <providerid>]
|
add alias <aliasname> <aliasvalue>
