Migrated comment:

64-bit platforms are not currently supported. I basically need to recompile the code against the new system. Conveniently, I just bought a new 64-bit box, so I should be doing this before too much longer.

Migrated comment:

I should add that the "Volume Shadow Copy" service is running and that a disk scan showed no errors on the drive I'm attempting to work with.

Migrated comment:

Yes, this is likely due to the fact that you're on a 64-bit platform. I'll be updating hobocopy to have 64-bit versions before too long.

hobocopy now ships 64-bit versions.
