What is AlphaVSS?
AlphaVSS : A managed interface to the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) API
In depth
A closer look at AlphaVSS
The AlphaVSS was designed to be a .NET class library written in C++/CLI aiming to provide a managed interface to the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) API. The goal is to provide an interface that is simple to use from a C# or VB.NET application, yet provides the full functionality of VSS. Programming using the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) on the .NET platform in C# (or VB) seems to be somewhat problematic to say the least. There are numerous posts online about this issue, Niether ever mentioning a robust solution that would allow full access to the VSS API from within a .NET application. The reason being that VSS is not exposed as a COM interface, but rather as a C++ interface, which means there is no type library available for importing in your .NET application.
