But this does not work with Cygwin 1.5. To access individual files, assign a drive letter X: to the VSS volume: http://blogs.msdn.com/adioltean/archive/2006/09/18/761515.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/adioltean/archive/2005/01/20/357836.aspx Then you can access the files via /cygdrive/x. This works with cygwin 1.5 also. Only the WinXP explorer refuses to access the drive.
