C:>hobocopy /verbosity=4 C:\src C:\dest foo* HoboCopy (c) 2006 Wangdera Corporation. hobocopy@wangdera.com

Calling CoInitialize Starting a full copy from C:\src to C:\dest Calling CreateVssBackupComponents There was a COM failure 0x80070005 - .\HoboCopy.cpp (169)

I understand that the failure code 0x80070005 apparently means access denied. I have found a couple sites that I think might be pertinent: http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/Development/microsoft.public.win32.programmer.kernel/2007-09/msg00235.html http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa387705.aspx

I am running Windows XP SP3. Both "Volume Shadow Copy" and "MS Software Shadow Copy Provider" services have been manually turned on. I run as a local administrator, but on a company domain and some security settings on my machine profile might have recently been changed.

Directory names have been changed to protect the innocent :)

Can't repro. Closing in favor of feature request #24.
