VSS / "Run as administrator" - m.e. - 12-05-2023

Hello,

I wanted to ask:

- Is it correct that Hasleo Backup uses VSS (volume shadow copy) ALWAYS for EVERY backup?
- For example when I start "Macrium Reflect" and "R-Drive Image", I always have to click "YES" to give administrator privileges.
- It is my guess that Hasleo does not need this because it uses a service, and the app itself does not need administrator priviledges because it makes use of this service that can do administrator-tasks?

Is this correct?

Yes... and yes.

Yes, the service program runs as the system account, so it has all the required privileges.
