Enum VssComponentType
The VssComponentType enumeration is used by both the requester and the writer to specify the type of component being used with a shadow copy backup operation.
Namespace: Alphaleonis.Win32.Vss
Assembly: AlphaVSS.Common.dll
Syntax
public enum VssComponentTypeRemarks
A writer sets a component's type when it adds the component to its Writer Metadata Document using
IVssCreateWriterMetadata.AddComponent
Writers and requesters can find the type information of components selected for inclusion in a Backup Components Document through calls to ComponentType to return a component type directly.
A requester can obtain the type of any component in a given writer's Writer Metadata Document by doing the following:
- Using Components to obtain a IVssWMComponent interface
- Examining the Type member of the IVssWMComponent object
