Re: Volume Shadow Copy Or Wasted Hard Drive Space

So are you saying that I am stuck with something that takes up x amount of
resources but that I only have access to half of the functionality of that
service?
If so that sucks.
But it seems that I have read that I can exclude directories from being
shadow copied with a registry edit. Does anyone know if this is true? And if
it is how to do it?

piook is a long standing psuedo-name that resulted from a typo on the old
computer game "Where in the USA IS Carmen Sandiego", and it stuck.
