Volume Shadow Copy Enabled

[dmitrij.ledkov]

Is AutoCAD Volume Shadow Copy Enabled application on Windows? As in does it create consistent copies of the files if the backup is run while AutoCAD has drawings open?

[Bernd.Gerstenberger]

Yes, AutoCAD can use the service of volume shadow copy. If a file is open it will be saved as a shadow with the current status quo. BAK-files will be saved, too. Volume Shadow Copy mitigates file access between applications and the backup process. In other words, if a backup tool needs to access a file currently in use, Volume Shadow Copy creates a shadow copy of that file and then provides the backup process access to the shadow copy.
