Anyone testing Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy?

[C. Bensend]

Hey folks,

   I am hitting a situation where certain Windows 2003 Server file
servers will stop doing shadow copies on their share volumes.  The
service itself starts up and shuts down periodically like it
should, but a new shadow copy is *not* created as viewed in Pervious
Versions from a Windows box.

   Looking at the vssadmin.exe command on the Windows server, I see
I can:


vssadmin List Shadows


   And it prints out a listing of the existing shadow copies.
However, without awk and grep (and no, I cannot install cygwin or
anything like that), I don't have a clue how to process it.

   Is anyone already testing Volume Shadow Copy?  Does anyone know
of performance counters or anything I can use via the Nagios EventLog
agent or NSClient++ to check to see that new shadow copies are being
created?

   I'm running out of Google on this one...

Thanks!

Benny
