Had this on my exam but 99% Diskshadow wasnt an answer!! Went with A: Shadow but now think its D: wbadmin
In this question answer B is correct. What were your option?
Diskshadow was not a choice for me either. Vssadmin was and is the right answer for another version of this question I guess.
Vssadmin
Displays current volume shadow copy backups and all installed shadow copy writers and providers. To view the command syntax for any of the commands in the following table, click the command name.
Vssadmin add shadowstorage – Adds a volume shadow copy storage association.
Vssadmin create shadow – Creates a new volume shadow copy.
Vssadmin delete shadows – Deletes volume shadow copies.
Vssadmin delete shadowstorage – Deletes volume shadow copy storage associations.
Vssadmin list providers – Lists registered volume shadow copy providers.
Vssadmin list shadows – Lists existing volume shadow copies.
Answer is right (B) Diskshadow
Vssadmin works as well but it is not listed as an answer:
