Hi lasdasdf,
thanks for the cross-link.

We are currently in contact with the vendor of the file system driver (Callback Technologies) that apparently causes VSS to break under certain mount conditions, we will let you know once we have a proper solution.

The current workaround is to enable Mount for all users and Mount with Windows Mount Manager in the advanced Boxcryptor settings.

Best regards,
Florian

PS: I changed the title since it is a general VSS compatibility issue, not only affecting Macrium Reflect backups.

Hi lasdasdf

A fix for the VSS incompatibility will be included in the next version of Boxcryptor for Windows. If you'd like to try it earlier, you can download and install this experimental version:

Hi everyone,

With the latest Boxcryptor for Windows 2.53.2568 release, the issue has been addressed.

Sorry again for the inconvenience!

Best regards,

I updated to this version today. Since then I cannot open disk2vhd64 from Sysinternals any more. Is this VSS related?

Florian

Hi m4ster,

can you confirm that when Boxcryptor is not running, disk2vhd64 is working correctly?

Best regards,
Florian

Hi Florian,

yes, I can confirm this. disk2vhd64 can be opened, when Boxcryptor has been closed. I tested this behaviour on two machines (Windows 10 and Windows 11).

Kind regards
