+EXPERIMENTAL: create a temporary filesystem snapshot of the source directory and
+capture the files from it.  Currently, this option is only supported on Windows
+(Vista and later), where it uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).  Using
+this option, you can create a consistent backup of the system volume of a

+VSS snapshot to be successfully created, \fBwimlib-imagex\fR must be run as an
+Administrator, and it cannot be run in WoW64 mode (i.e. if Windows is 64-bit,
+then \fBwimlib-imagex\fR must be 64-bit as well).

 \fBwimlib-imagex append\fR does not support appending an image to a split WIM.
