Backup using VSS
The following explains an example of using VSS to back up a file system to tape. When VSS is used,
backup is performed with the disk drive mounted. In this example, using VSS we back up the file
server
FSServer
to a secondary volume. Then we back it up from a secondary volume to tape, using
the
E:
drive for the mount point.
Operation_A
is used as the operation ID.
To make a backup by using VSS, the Protection Manager service must be running on the backup
server.
To use VSS to back up a file system:
