Use VSS
Select the Use VSS check box to use the Volume Shadow Service (VSS) for backups. Select one of the following options to specify which files you want to backup using VSS.
-
For all files
Select this option to use a software snapshot to perform the backup.
A software snapshot creation may fail if the VSS service is unavailable or it is unable to quiesce a volume. Select one of the following options to control the actions in such scenario:
-
Fail the job
If you select this option the backup job will fail and not continue in the case where the software is unable to create the snapshot. Use this option, if you want to perform the backup using only the software snapshot.
-
Continue and reset access time
If you select this option, the File System iDataAgent will perform the backup from the live volume . After backing up the file, the access time will be reset back to its original time before the backup occurred. Use this option, if you are archiving files based on access time. Note that resetting the access time may slow down the backup operation.
-
Continue and do not reset access time
This is the default option. The File System iDataAgent will perform the backup from the live volume. After backing up the file, the access time will NOT be reset back to its original time. Use this option, if you are NOT archiving files based on access time.
-
-
For locked files only
Select this option to use a software snapshot to perform the backup of locked files. Some applications and system programs lock certain files while in use (open). If you do not select this option, files that are locked are skipped during the backup job.
Note: To back up individual Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) nodes, select this option as the files may be locked during the replication process. However, the DFS-R configuration is backed up during a system state backup.
-
Backup from Live Volume
This is the default option. By default, the Windows File System iDataAgent will perform the backup from the live volume and not from the Snapshot of the volume.
