I personally modified the script so that if VSS got an access denied, it
would switch to a failover copy of the vss command line which was a
different version. Then if that one failed as well, it would prompt the
user to manually retrieve the specific version of the file. The last case
tended to only happen with files with $ in their name, as manipulating those
from the command line client proved impossible. VSS 6.0c turned out to be
the most reliable as far as the access denied, not 6.0d that was the latest
released version when I ran it. Between the 2 though, I avoided every access
is denied besides the $ issues.
Attached is my modified version of the script, the failover exe is hardcoded
on line 1313,
$self->{_ssexe2} = "D:\\vss2svn\\vss6.0c\\ss.exe";
As to where to obtain VSS 6.0c, I got it off a cd our IT guy had which had
multiple versions, but I can't really remember the title of the cd.
