Hi there
Acronis doesn't need or require this feature -- I always think why is it that things like Backups which EVERYBODY should do are made complicated by MS -- why should people be concerned with "Shadow Volumes" etc -- in fact I'd wager that even on THIS forum probably over 50% of the people do not know what this service is and what it does.
Other backup programs might also work fine without this too -- I use ACRONIS and can certainly say I've never found the VSS or whatever to be a requirement for sucessfull partition imaging.
Now if you are using DYNAMIC disks or some types of RAID this could be another issue - but even here you can always image WHOLE DISKS too.

Apart from backup services I've seen obscure reference to "other services". Maybe someone knows what the "other" services are.
I don't rely on restore points but Windows updates uses them. Would updates be impacted?
Pragmatically, if it's just left in manual it shouldn't get in the way and if it's ever needed by some "other" service it's there.
