Initializing VSS subsystem...

   VSS Subsystem Init failed, 0x80042302
Operation terminated with error -2403 (JET_errOSSnapshotNotAllowed, OS Shadow copy not allowed (backup or recovery in progress)) after 0.172 seconds.

The internet suggests ( http://blogs.msdn.com/b/martinc/archive/2015/02/11/using-esentutl-exe-vss-to-examine-an-in-use-database.aspx[^] ) to make a Volume Shadow Service copy in order to read the database. Doing this from a normal user level produces:

esentutl /mh WebCacheV01.dat /vss

I tried again from a cmd prompt with admin privileges. This worked! Dumping table information failed because the database was not closed (or something, I didn't save the error message).

I ended up using the following magic incantation:

esentutl /y WebCacheV01.dat /vssrec V01 . /d destination\path\for\copy.dat

using (var cmdEsentutl = new Process())
{
    cmdEsentutl.StartInfo.FileName = "esentutl";
    cmdEsentutl.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    cmdEsentutl.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
    cmdEsentutl.StartInfo.Arguments = $@"/y {GlobalVariables.edge44HistoryDB}\WebCacheV01.dat /vssrec V01 . /d F:\WebCacheV01.dat";
    cmdEsentutl.StartInfo.Verb = "runas";
    cmdEsentutl.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
    cmdEsentutl.Start();
    cmdEsentutl.WaitForExit();
