As the manual explains, the "Enable VSS" directive applies to the whole backup 
so it must be specified at the FileSet section, not in an Options, Include, 
or Exclude section.  

Oops, I overlooked that... but in that case, when reading the 
configuration, a warning message would seem useful.

In fact, for the moment the Enable VSS is global in the FD, which means that 
if you run multiple simultaneous jobs, once an VSS enabled job has started, 
all other jobs that start while that job is running will also be VSS.
Running multiple simultaneous FD jobs with VSS enabled is probably a very bad 
idea because the snapshot is likely to be deleted out from under one of the 
jobs.

We will fix this in a subsequent version.  Since I don't know anyone that is 
running multiple simultaneous FD jobs (i.e. in one FD), I hope this won't be 
a problem.

I do :-)
But on a linux FD.

The actual error message text might be helpful, probably it tells
someone why you can't use t.

Please supply that, as well as the outpu from the console command status
client=whatever-your-windows-client-is-named-fd

For example, I get
#status client=beowulf-fd
Connecting to Client beowulf-fd at beowulf:9102

beowulf-fd Version: 1.37.32 (22 July 2005) VSS Windows XP MVS NT 5.1.2600
Daemon started 22-Aug-05 13:36, 6 Jobs run since started.

 WC2MB,MB2WC,FFFA,FFFW,FNFA,FNFW,SCDA,SCDW,
 GCDA,GCDW

Note the line containing VSS and all the APIs - this is important
information.

Apart from that, did you install the windows client with VSS support?

I noticed some installation problems with that, in which case stopping
that service, the reinstalling it might help.

FileSet {
Name = "Windows 2000"
Include {
Options {
Signature = SHA1
IgnoreCase = yes
Compression = GZIP9
Enable VSS = yes
}
#Enable VSS = yes
File = "C:/"
}
}

Thanks.
Dave.
