Provider Registration
Only VSS calls providers. The provider registers for calls by invoking IVssAdmin::RegisterProvider, passing VSS_PROV_HARDWARE for the eProviderType parameter. Once registered, the provider will be involved in shadow copy management until unregistering using IVssAdmin::UnregisterProvider.
Provider Loading and Unloading
Providers can be frequently loaded and unloaded. Providers can implement IVssProviderNotifications to determine when VSS is loading or unloading the provider.
