Description
**For now this issue should be considered 'open to discussion'!**
VSS Support should be added to support 'advanced' backup features on Windows (SQL Server, Exchange, ...).
**This should**
- be rather transparent to the user (--use-vss command line option or similar, see #983)
- have the ability to report VSS error messages
- have the option to continue even if VSS creating fails
**Things to consider**
- Should this be implemented by wrapping borg (scripting VSS is quite cumbersome)?
- Should some cross-platform support be implemented (VSS, LVM, QEMU Snapshots, others)?
Edit: I'm planning on opening a bounty for this once we agree on how to implement it.
