Enable Volume Shadow Copy option not available in Backup mode

Don
in Acrosync for Windows
When selecting the Backup sync mode the Enable Volume Shadow Copy option is not available as it is only available under the Upload sync option. The Volume Shadow Copy option should be available for the Backup sync option also. I schedule backups to run once a day and sometimes files are locked and therefore do not get backed up. Please add this option.

    The reason Volume Shadow Copy isn't supported in the Backup mode is that it requires the process to be elevated to have administrator privileges, while the Backup mode is designed to run continuously without user intervention.  Now that command line invocation is possible, I'm thinking of honoring the Volume Shadow Copy option when running from the command line as administrator.

    There is nothing stopping someone from running Acrosync in backup mode with administrator privileges. It should be available with a note in the documentation that it require admin rights to run.
