Shadow Copy Components:\ directive

The Shadow Copy Components:\ directive specifies that all of the Volume Shadow Copy component writers get backed up. This directive affects the backups of the following clients:

Windows 2003 Server computers that use the Volume Shadow Copy components.
Windows IA64 systems with EFI System partitions.
Note:
In the policies that back up Windows clients on IA64 platforms, use the Shadow Copy components:\ directive instead of the System_State:\ directive. The Shadow Copy components:\ directive includes System State components and the EFI System partition automatically in the backup.

Since the Shadow Copy Components contain System State information, the Shadow Copy Components need to be backed up by a full backup.

The Volume Shadow Copy components include the following:

System State writers	System files COM+ Class Registration Database SYSVOL Active Directory Cluster quorum Certificate Services Registry Internet Information Services
System Service writers	Removable Storage Manager Event logs Windows Internet Name Service Windows Management Instrumentation Remote Storage Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Terminal Server Licensing Background Intelligent Transfer Service
User Data	Items that the computer does not require to operate. For example, Active Directory Application Mode and Microsoft Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) folders. See About Microsoft DFSR backups and restores.
Other Data	A category that is intended for future NetBackup releases.
