[/Provider=ProviderNameOrID] [/AutoRetry=MaxRetryMinutes]
- Creates a new shadow copy of the specified type for the ForVolumeSpec.
The default shadow copy Provider will be called unless ProviderNameOrID
is specified. The ForVolumeSpec must be a local volume drive letter or
mount point. If MaxRetryMinutes is specified and there is another
process creating a shadow copy, vssadmin will continue to try to create
the shadow copy for MaxRetryMinutes minutes.
- The provider ID can be obtained by using the List Providers command.
When entering a Provider ID, it must be in the following format:
{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}
where the X's are hexadecimal characters.
