Enhancement: Add support for Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) on Windows
Volume Shadow Copy Service allows read access to files that are locked by
another process using an exclusive lock through a filesystem snapshot. Restic
was unable to backup those files before. This update enables backing up these
files.
This needs to be enabled explicitely using the --use-fs-snapshot option of the
backup command.
