The AlphaVSS was designed to be a .NET class library written in C++/CLI aiming to provide a managed interface to the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) API. The goal is to provide an interface that is simple to use from a C# or VB.NET application, yet provides the full functionality of VSS.

Programming using the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) on the .NET platform in C# (or VB) seems to be somewhat problematic to say the least. There are numerous posts online about this issue, Niether ever mentioning a robust solution that would allow full access to the VSS API from within a .NET application.

The reason being that VSS is not exposed as a COM interface, but rather as a C++ interface, which means there is no type library available for importing in your .NET application.

System requirements

What's new in AlphaVSS 1.0 Beta:

  • Most significantly the nasty assembly version bug is finally gone, and loading
  • of the platform specific assemblies should now work without a problem.
  • The other major difference is an update of the documentation which now also
  • include conceptual content (such as these release notes) and some basic usage guidelines to make getting started using AlphaVSS easier.
