VSS Errors after Ctrl C'ing a running backup

[csmiken]

Windows XP SP3 - 32bit

After ctrl+c'ing a running backup, the next time I tried running the backup, I received:

C:\Program Files\cyphertite>cyphertite.exe -cvf my-documents "c:\Documents and S ettings\David\My Documents" found Documents and Settings\David\My Documents as hardlink [vssrl] src/vss_requester_template.cpp:213:CreateSnapshotSet(): Unable to add vo lume to snapshot set (C:).

Forced quits aren't currently caught and shutdown gracefully. You will either have to reboot or use something like vshadow to delete the existing snapshot. In later versions of the windows the included vssadmin can be used for this.
