Which googles up to a leftover Storagecraft

So I was trying to do a VSS backup on a workstation tonight and found that one wouldn’t work. Come to find out a leftover Storagecraft was causing the issue.
There’s so many times that conflicting backup software just does not play nice nice with each other.
Deleted out the registry key and then the VSS backup would work.
