Please note that if you want to make sure that Exchange and SQL databases are involved in the shadow copy then you must:
1) Remove the "-nw" option above. -nw stands for "no writers". So, if this option is not specified, the writers present on this machine (Exchange/SQL, etc) will be involved.
2) The database + logs must be on the same volume. If this is not the case, VSHADOW must take as parameters all the volumes involved.
3) With the current version of the VSS writers it is not possible to perform incremental/differential backups for SQL or Exchange. For more details, please see the VSS Exchange documentation.

Each Directory would be a mount to the apporiate Shadow Copy. This could be shared out and users could access these directories to do there restores from...
