Anyone using Win Server 2003 and Shadow Copy to back up SQL.

Anyone using Win Server 2003 and Shadow Copy to back up SQL. If so can you
point me at any resourses. MS KB seems thin on the subject.
Thanks in advance
Allen
This seems like a good start:

|||Hi Tibor,
Thanks for the link. I see they have provided a guide on how to use the API
(althought the examplers are in c!)
I probably phrased the question wrongly - I wondered if anyone had
experience of actually using it - it seems from the link that the only way
to use it is to write your own application - or possibly a vs script?

Server 2005. This implied that it isn't supported with the current versions. I'm afraid I can't find
that statement, though...
