Two things:
1) The rdiff-backup project likely won't accept patches for features that are platform specific. There are exceptions for OS-specific filesystem metadata, but VSS doesn't fall into that category. 2) I've written a python extension module in C++ to implement VSS. Is that something that you'd be interested in?

I was going to try to add support for Windows Shadow Copy Service based on this code/concept:

and am wondering if anyone had suggestions related to this. The concept seems simple enough, make a shadow copy of each drive involved and change the location of the backed up files from the actual drive to the vss image. I was thinking a new flag could be implemented '--vss' in order to tell rdiff-backup that vss images are desired.
