Volume Shadow Copy Service setting

[bulajap]

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

Under "services"....."volume shadow copy service".....then "properties"..... the Sratup type" is set to "Manual".
Is this the correct setting or should it be set to "automatic" ?

thank you

Manual

I believe that it should be set to manual if you have system restore enabled.

Use this tutorial by Brink to find your in question service and it will show what is default.

I hate to say this, but when I had VSS set to Manual, all my System Restore points were lost and no new ones were made at any time.

I had to set it to Automatic (Delayed Start) to have restore points work properly.
