[AccessD] Microsoft Volume Copy Service

[jamesbutton at blueyonder.co.uk]

Not used that facility -
But the earlier "image" facility had the major flaws -
Starting with the automatic update of the image with modified files  during your
working day -
So any files that had lost needed data, been corrupted, or encrypted would
replace the "recovery ones".
Also the file history facility did not create entries of files with fullnames of
over 230 characters  - or, depending on your login id and the system name, a lot
less characters.

There is also the 400 character fullname limit within OneDrive, as well as the
"not doing that file" and "not telling you" 
About files with set character strings in the fullname.

What I found was needed was a volume restore facility to create the needed
partition sizes on a replacement drive ( storage device) so you could recover
the partition setup in order to recover data  if the partition tables were
corrupted, and to restore from a backup created by such as Easeus ToDo  - 4gb
parts maybe encrypted as a set, or using a BitLocker type facility  - and upload
them to cloud as a safe store in case of losing all the IT @ home !

And - re Google Drive - nice facility - but what if the account gets lost, or
hacked with a new password set, or you lose comms access !

Also - if storing stuff from the phone onto a cloud store,
Does access to the phone give access to all on the cloud storage - 
e.g. the phone remembers the access to all your cloud storage .

Subject: [AccessD] Microsoft Volume Copy Service

Dear Lists:

Microsoft Volume Copy Service is running (W11) taking about 35% of CPU
cycles. Do I need this?

My personal data files (Client stuff, photos, docs, etc) are all backed up
to my Google drive.
