Hello,

There are a number of conditions you need to fulfill for adding code to
Bacula or more precisely the Bacula project.  First, it is good to
review the design with the developers particularly because in the case
of this project, it is already in progress.  Part of the review is to
ensure that any new directives/code are consistent with the current
Bacula philosophy and code standards.  In addition, you will need to
fill out an FLA and send it in.  Please see the bacula.org web site for
details.
Adding a new keyword such as "snapshot" would make more sense as VSS is
very Windows specific.

Best regards,
Kern
