Also, I have another interest. I've written code to use the Volume Shadowcopy Service (VSS) to create shadowcopies of volumes to enable backup up open files and applications like Exchange. I would like to contribute to a VSS project too. Is any interest in Volume Shadowcopy Service Requestor code?

Hi,
I have great interesting in this area. After trying this myself i found the excellent AlphaVSS Libraries that have given my Backup Software the ability to copy files that are in use.
As there are Managed Wrappers, there are specific libraries for WinXp, 2008 x86 and x64 etc.
it would be great to have a nice easy to use Library that would use PInvokes directly and not have to worry too much about the deployment OS.
Hope that gets you on the right track.
