I agree with your suspicion. Older versions of 4D did not support Windows Volume Shadow Copy. v16R2 added explicit support for it. Details at https://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17.3/Using-Volume-Shadow-Copy-Service-on-Windows.300-4640984.en.html <https://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17.3/Using-Volume-Shadow-Copy-Service-on-Windows.300-4640984.en.html> >It would be good to have 4D write its own backup to an external drive and than >have the OS backup run on that one instead.

If you are upgrading to v16R2 or greater, you should be able resolve this.
