Services Utility: Volume Snapshot Service | Display Name (?): | Volume Snapshot | | Short Name (?): | ? | | Executable (?): | ? | | Library (?): | ? | | Depends On (?): | ? | | Supports (?): | None. | | Description (?): | None. | | OS (?): | NT4 Server, 2000 Server, Server 2003, Vista Server | | Startup (?): | | Default | Home | Workstation | Server | Minimal | Tweaked | Automatic | | Disabled | Disabled | Automatic | Automatic | Disabled | Disabled | Disabled | |
Explanation (?): |
The volume snapshot service provides a central and native backup provider to Microsoft products as well as 3rd party applications. This means this service is used by programs to perform data backup that wish to take advantage of Microsoft's insight into their own product. 3rd parties, nor Microsoft, are required to use this service as a backup provider, but the features exist and can be used if needed.
This service is most likely not needed if you do not know what it is. In fact, this service is most likely only needed in corporate environments as I doubt many consumer level products will take advantage of this. If you do not use any special products to automatically take backups then this service shouldn't be needed. This service should only be found on server versions of Windows anyway, so you most likely only need to worry about this service if you run a server. Set this service to automatic if you take backups, and set it to manual if not. |

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship[...] Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Herman Goering: Intelligence office interview at Nuremberg, 1946/4/18
