This component will verify the path to be backed up exists. If it does, it will then check if the destination file already exists. If it does, it will delete it and proceed. The component then tries to compress the folder to a zip file. If that fails, it will create a VSS shadowcopy of the C drive, and extract the folder from there. It then deletes the VSS shapshot. The action of deleting a VSS snapshot may cause your AntiVirus software to terminate the component, however the backup file has already been created.
