While trying to make an Acronis Disk Director 10 on my own, I didn't succeed in getting Acronis "snapman.sys" driver work.

The driver needs to be installed as an UpperFilter of Classes {4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} and {71A27CDD-812A-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}. I have then inserted "[SetupReg.AddReg]" instructions in my plugin.inf in such a way (see plugin below).

But when I start UBCD, the "snapman" service is registered and starts as expected but the registry remains misconfigured : snapman isn't registered in the DiskDrive class while the Volume class is OK. Here is an registry extract of my UBCD System :

CODE

"CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" : "UpperFilters" = "PartMgr"
"CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{71A27CDD-812A-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}" : "UpperFilters" = "VolSnap", "snapman"

The result is the same with or without BTS Driverspack enabled.

Do you know why the DiskDrive remains misconfigured and how could I resolve such a problem ?

Here is my plugin proposal :

Make sure your plugin is processed after the HWPNP plugin.
HWPNP overwrites the DiskDrive class "4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318" with its own registry values.
