    Shadow backup


    What is the importance of Shadow? I just tested a backup program and at the end it said it was making a Shadow backup and it seemed to run forever. Just curious. Using CMS BounceBack.

    Why does shadow copy continue to run in the background even though I have set the service to manual?

    Hi Sonya,

    By default, VSSC runs as part of the system. It is not recommended to turn off Volume Shadow Copy. It manages and implements Volume Shadow Copies used for backup and other purposes. If this service is stopped, shadow copies will be unavailable for
    backup and the backup may fail. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

    Let us know if you have other concerns.
