OK. There is more to this than just bareos. 1. I used the script from this thread and it seems to be working relatively well for backing up (I'm yet to test the restore part ;-)) the disk. I don't know, however how to backup whole mountpoint. If I put the location of my symlink/junction/whatever that is, only the junction point itself gets backed up, not the contents. I can't make bareos descend into the mounted VSS shadow copy. I have to explicitly list directories (like c:/vssmount/c/users) to back them up. 2. I spent whole evening yesterday trying to get vss to work, regardless of bareos. I tried creating snapshots with " shadowcopy call create Volume=C:\" and then symlinking them by hand and each time I did them I was also getting access denied due to file open. So there must be something else that the script provided in this thread does and neither bareos nor manual wmic call do. (My system here is Win10)
