Hi,

using server 2008 (32/64 version) i noticed mount points are recursive
followed especially in this case (see steps 1-2), has anyone knows how
it can be stopped?

step 1 ) mounting shadow copy of volume X on volume X
step 2) create additional shadow copy of the same volume X and mount
it again on volume
x(different location)

as result the second mounted shadow copy(step 2) contains the first
mount point of the previous shadow(step 1)
1. in server 2003 the behavior was different, mounted shadows where
not followed
2. now the first mount point as two paths, the original and inside the
second mounted
shadow copy
3. after few steps as above, my machine crash

my questions?
1. can i programmatic (or in other means) can change the behavior to
what it was on 2003
2. is that possible to exclude the directory that include the mounted
shadow copies (all
reside in the same folder in my application) as requester
(IVssBackupComponents)

[using the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet
\Control
\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup or
\snapshot... helps but only
some times, i suppose it's since the exclude describe as "best
effort" in msdn
documentation]

thx,
Eyal.
