NTBackup Shadow Copy question

If I have a backup device on a workstation, running NTBackup, does it use
Shadow Copy, or can it only do that if the drive is local to the CPU running
the backup?

2 more zeros and remove the obvious.

My experience is that Shadow Copy works only on the local computer where
ntbackup is being used. I tried it as a test to backup the sysvol share on a
domain controller remotely one time and the backup finished with the message
that it could not back up a couple files that were in use on the remote
system. --- Steve
