IMPORTANT: This command is no longer in use. It is included only to preserve compatibility with existing MS-DOS files, but it has no effect at the command line because the functionality is automatic. Sets or clears extended CTRL+C checking on MS-DOS systems. If used without parameters, break displays the existing setting value. If command extensions are enabled and running on the Windows platform, inserting the break command into a batch file enters a hard-coded breakpoint if being debugged by a debugger.

Disassociates a shadow copy volume from VSS and makes it accessible as a regular volume. The volume can then be accessed using a drive letter (if assigned) or volume name. If used without parameters, break displays help at the command prompt. NOTE: This command is relevant only for hardware shadow copies after import. Exposed volumes, like the shadow copies they originate from, are read-only by default. Access to the volume is made directly to the hardware provider without record of the volume having been a shadow copy.
