vshadow is included in the Microsoft SDK
The Microsoft SDK may be downloaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E6E1C3DF-A74F-4207-8586-711EBE331CDC&displaylang=en. You need to install at least the Win32 Development Tools. vshadow.exe may be found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin\vsstools.
You also need another program, dosdev, which allows you to mount a Volume Shadow Copy as a normal drive with a drive letter.
dosdev may be found in Microsoft Product Support’s Reporting Tools, specifically MPSRPT_CLUSTER.EXE. That file may be downloaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=cebf3c7c-7ca5-408f-88b7-f9c79b7306c0&displaylang=en. Do not run MPSRPT_CLUSTER.EXE when you download it. Instead open the file with 7-zip and extract dosdev.exe.
