media is write protected when using diskshadow.exe, start-bitstransfer powershell cmdlet
- by Aaron - Solution Evangelist
i am trying to use the powershell start-bitstransfer cmdlets to transfer a file i have exposed using a vss snapshot (via diskshadow), but unfortunately i am receiving the following error:
Start-BitsTransfer : The media is write protected.
At line:1 char:49

TransferCommand
we really want to utilize the bits endpoint we are attempting to transfer the files to. is there any other way we can go about this (aside from copying the files elsewhere first, unless we can copy one slice at a time and transfer that)?
