Hello, I am working with 2003 and 2008 servers and need a way to audit when vss is called to preform a backup of any kind. Please let me know if there is any way to do this.

this is a diagnostic tool for detecting problems. it will not do for auditing when VSS is called for any reason. I need to be able to audit and log when vss is called. Please let me know how I can use this for auditing and logging purposes. I really want to be able to audit VSS
