These installs guarantee that ShadowProtect recognizes changes to ShadowProtect-managed volumes from these secondary Windows environments. You do not need to activate ShadowProtect, but the snapshot driver stcvsm. This snapshot driver manages the fast incremental tracking in ShadowProtect. If you boot to an alternate OS environment where the snapshot driver is not loaded, ShadowProtect cannot track volume updates from that OS boot session.

This means that your next Incremental backup misses any changes made from the alternate OS. If one or more non-Windows operating systems, such as Linux, can write to a ShadowProtect-managed volume, make sure ShadowProtect recognizes those changes by creating a script. It should delete all VSM IDX case-sensitive files from the root directory of each ShadowProtect-managed volume.

Removing these files forces ShadowProtect's stcvsm. This differential image file captures any changes made to the volume from the non-Windows OS.
