Opening a file's Shadow Copy if the current copy is in use

问题


I'm trying to backup files on a server, but some of them are in use and cannot be opened. Instead, I'd like to open their shadow copy if the current copy is in use. How can I do this?

For reference, I'm using C# .net 3.5.

This question is quite old already, so my answer might not be of much use to you, but SO being a Q&A site maybe it still helps someone else.

I can't / don't want to put down the entire implementation, but the procedure is goes something like this:

  1. You create a Volume Shadow Copy via the Volume Shadow Service Provider for the drive where your file to be read is located(this is well documented on MSDN, also there is a sample client that creates these shadow copies and will most likely be sufficient for you)

  2. Either make a persistent one, or use the "callback" mechanism (calls your app)

  3. Open the desired file via UNC paths and CreateFile (the UNC looks something like this: \\?\GlobalRoot\Devices\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopyXZY\yourpath\yourfile.yourextension)

  4. Do whatever you want with the file

  5. If you made a persistent VSC you should use the sample client to delete it after you're done

I cannot actually tell, but there is the following Channel 9 video.

Windows Vista "Time Warp": Understanding Vista's Backup and Restore Technologies

There are some implementation details and a bit about the API structure. And I believe to remember that they mentioned how the shadow copies are mapped into the file system.

If you have control of the first process you can specify file handle share type

string contents1;
string contents2;
using (FileStream fs1 = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
    using (var tr1 = new StreamReader(fs1))
    {
        using (FileStream fs2 = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
        {
            using (var tr2 = new StreamReader(fs2))
            {
                contents2 = tr2.ReadToEnd();
                contents1 = tr1.ReadToEnd();
            }
        }
    }
}

Console.WriteLine(contents1);
Console.WriteLine(contents2);
