Status: Fixed
USN is now activated by default on windows, but requires Administrative privileges.
If it fails to activate, it is silently ignored, and normal filesystem enumeration is used.
Set --usn-policy to:
"on" to get a warning if it fails,
"required" to abort the backup if it fails
"off" to disable USN
"auto" to silently ignore a fail

Added the --vss-exclude-writers option.
Update issue #260
Status: Fixed
I have now added a --vss-exclude-writers commandline option.
I had another look at the other supported options, and I consider this the most important.
I made the simplest possible version, so it only supports class guids, not component names
or writer instance ids.
If you need any of the other switches or the component names, please let me know.
I would also be interested in hearing that it actually works (I get no errors, but thats no proof).
You can specify multiple writers with a semicolon: --vss-exclude-writers="{d61d61c8-d73a-4eee-8cdd-f6f9786b7124};{0bada1de-01a9-4625-8278-69e735f39dd2}"
If you need the guids, you can get them with the following command in a command prompt:
vssadmin list writers

Fixed a protential race condition with warning messages and file counts (cosmetic only) when using async transfers.
Spelling correction, Seperator -> Separator.
Changed so a restore operation can also supply advanced options.
Changed the format of timestamps in filenames to follow the Duplicity convention, which removes the need for --time-separator and --use-short-filenames.
Moved the URL utility into Core, to avoid compilation errors with Monodevelop.
Reorganized the runner to better support the LiveControls on all operations rather than only for backup/restore.
Update issue #210
Status: Fixed
I have now changed the time format to follow the Duplicity naming convention.
This means that all filenames are now generated with the time set as "yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ".
This format is more portable across all platforms, and easily sortable/readable.
The drawback is that the Z indicates UTC time, so if one looks at the filenames,
the times are not local. The motivation for this is to avoid trouble
with daylight savings time offsets.
There is full backwards compatibility as long as backups have not used more than
one character for --time-separator (only possible via commandline).
This new format means that the options --time-separator and --use-short-filenames
are now deprecated and removed from the user interface. It is possible to
access them from the advanced options page, along with the --use-old-filenames option.
If anyone needs these options for some reason, let me know, otherwise they will be removed
in a later version.

Added snapshot support using either VSS (win xp/vista/7) or LVM (linux).
Using the snapshot feature requires administrative/root privileges, and is toggled by the "snapshot-policy" option (by commandline or in advanced settings).
Also improved the validation of options to not show incorrect warnings.
This fixes issue #233.
