Exchange 2003 VSS c#

[Kyle Burmark]

We are attempting to write a backup application in c# that uses volume shadow
copy service to backup and restore exchange 2003 and we are having a hard
time finding the right dll to use. Yes we could do it in c++ but we are
trying to steer away from that. It appears to be COM based so there should
be a dll for it. We have tried referencing many of the vss**.dll’s and with
no luck, at least the ones we could add as references didn’t have the
functions we needed. I have read online that you can’t use vss in c# and that
it will be released with the next OS, is this true? I have looked high and
low online and everyone is having problems it seems like. My colleage said he
tried WMI Win32_ShadowCopy and he couldn’t seem to figure it out, but I don’t
know if this will do what we want with Exchange 2003? People are also saying
to make a wrapper around the Win32_ShadowCopy class. I just can’t find an
answer anywhere, please let me know what the correct way of doing this for c#
is, if there is one at all.
