Hi,
Volume Shadow Copy Service is supported on windows 2003 and not on windows 2000.
When using AOFO for both windows 2003 and windows 2000 you can select the option "Automatically select open file technology".
Also note that during database backups like exchange and sql the advanced open file option should not be selected.
