The Windows Backup provides a feature of taking a backup of files that are opened by a user or system. This feature is known as volume shadow copy. Volume shadow copy makes a duplicate copy of all files at the start of the backup process. In this way, files that have changed during the backup process are copied correctly. Volume shadow copy ensures the following:
- Applications continue to write data to the volume during a backup operation.
- Backups are scheduled at any time without locking out users.
