letch · Guest

Run with shadow copy off - copy works.
Run w/ shadow copy on - err shown below.

user has admin priv's
when I set things up this worked, something appears to have changed the env.
Do not know how to locate and id privileges for shadow - \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1

Strange that the error reported is "The media is write protected" while VV is trying to copy FROM the shadow copy of volume E: to the volume X: .... the message indicates that X: is write protected, not the shadow copy....

Was this ever fixed?

I have the same problem for some files. (seems to be only when I have "shadowing" switched on.

Works ok with shadowing turned off.

nb the files in question are not locked or in use. one of them is just a simple html file.

No, we could never get to the root cause of the problem....
