windows GUI- question on VSS

kevinvinv     Nov 13 10:33PM 2017 GUI

Hello,

I am trying Duplicacy for the first time on a windows PC now. Using the GUI.

I believe I am trying to backup maybe 50GB or so max but it has taken over a day to do packing and seems to be stuck on maybe one file perhaps.

I noticed the Enable Volume Shadow Copy check box and was wondering if I should be using that or not... although I cant seem to click it anyway.

Any thoughts? Thanks!!!

You need to run Duplicacy as administrator to enable VSS. This is a requirement of Windows.
