I was doing a defrag and it kept stopping because of a conflict with
the Volume Shadow Copy service. A quick Internet search turned up a
site that recommended disabling the Volume Shadow Copy while defrag is
running. 

http://forum.soft32.com/win4/Defragmenting-pauses-volume-shadow-copy-ftopict212207.htm

I did and that fixed the problem.

The site said to leave it disabled if I don't need it. It didn't say
how I could tell if I need it.

I left it disabled and everything seems to be working OK.

How can I tell if I can leave it disabled or if I need to reenable it?

I already did that, you little twit. I didn't understand all of the
implications, so I was asking if anyone with more knowledge could
offer an opinion. Instead, I get you, who obviously knows nothing and
has nothing useful to contribute. So fuck off.
