Sorry in advance for reviving this old thread.
But with the recent small tests I did here maybe this behavior changed in Windows and/or HBS?
When I experimented with those VSS snapshots last year, I was still using Windows 10 for my tests and also an early beta version of HBS 5.0. Now if you disable filters entirely in more recent versions of HBS (and at least with Windows 11), it seems to also perfectly restore snapshot information with image restores. Maybe this is because of changes in Windows, but maybe you also did something in HBS.
What I'm trying to say: Maybe the delete option for those predefined filters could be enabled again (if more tests show it's working now)?
That way, filters don't have to be disabled completely if you wish to keep snapshots inside the image.
Thank you for your detailed testing and feedback and for sharing these new findings from our previous discussion. This is very valuable.
The behavior you observed, where VSS snapshot information can be retained during an image restore in the updated HBS and Windows 11 environment without completely disabling filters, is indeed very interesting. This suggests that the underlying system behavior may have changed.
Regarding your suggestion to re enable the option to delete those predefined filters, our development team will conduct further in-depth research.
We appreciate your insightful testing and your enthusiasm for driving product improvements. If you have any other findings or questions during this process, please feel free to let us know.
