I'd like to make a C# application that uses Volume Shadow Copy Service for backup/restore.
How do I access the VSS API from C#?

Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage. Right-click Shared Folders, point to All Tasks, and then click Configure Shadow Copies. In the Select a volume list, click the drive that contains the file share resource that you want to create a shadow copy for. For example, click drive R.
Shadow Copies for Shared Folders uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service to provide point-in-time copies of files that are located on a shared network resource, such as a file server. With Shadow Copies for Shared Folders, users can quickly recover deleted or changed files that are stored on the network.
You can manually enable it in task manager by the following steps. Right-click taskbar> select Start Task Manager > click services at the bottom > find Volume Shadow Copy and double-click it > set the startup type as Automatic > click Apply to make it available.
Check out AlphaVSS. I believe it's exactly what the doctor ordered.
