CVssWriter::IsPathAffected method (vswriter.h)
The IsPathAffected method determines whether the specified directory or file is included in the current shadow copy set. The path for the directory or file can be a local path or a UNC path of a remote file share.
IsPathAffected is a protected method implemented by the CVssWriter base class.
Syntax
bool IsPathAffected(
[in] LPCWSTR wszPath
);
Parameters
[in] wszPath
Path of the directory or file to be queried. This path can be a local path or a UNC path of a remote file share.
If the path refers to a directory, it can contain environment variables (for example, %SystemRoot%) but cannot contain wildcard characters.
Return value
The following are the valid return codes for this method.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
The path is included in the set of volumes being included in the shadow copy set. |
|
The path is not included in the set of volumes being included in the shadow copy set. |
Remarks
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: Remote file shares are not supported until Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. Writers support only local resources—sets of files whose absolute path starts with a valid local volume specification and cannot be a mapped network drive. The input to IsPathAffected (after the resolution of any environment variables) must be in this format.
