exclusively locked by another process during the backup.

You can use three additional options to change VSS behaviour:

* ``-o vss.timeout`` specifies timeout for VSS snapshot creation, the default value is 120 seconds
* ``-o vss.excludeallmountpoints`` disable auto snapshotting of all volume mount points
* ``-o vss.excludevolumes`` allows excluding specific volumes or volume mount points from snapshotting

E.g., 2.5 minutes timeout with mount points snapshotting disabled can be specified as

.. code-block:: console
-o vss.timeout=2m30s -o vss.excludeallmountpoints=true
and excluding drive ``D:\``, mount point ``C:\mnt`` and volume ``\\?\Volume{04ce0545-3391-11e0-ba2f-806e6f6e6963}\`` as

.. code-block:: console
-o vss.excludevolumes="d:;c:\MNT\;\\?\volume{04ce0545-3391-11e0-ba2f-806e6f6e6963}"
