Volume shadow copy -- OK to disable?

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?
