Well, yes, I know how VSS works. Once provider is requested to create shadow copy, it will provide snapshot to the requestor, which can be mounted as drive letter, for example, and copied. What I am asking is this - what happens in bareos client - will it be able to trigger appropriate VSS provider (SystemState, Hyper-V, etc.) and get the resulting snapshot and copy it? There is a commandline tool, provided in recent MS OS - DiskShadow, which actually allows to do all this manually. Example, if anyone is interested: DiskShadow / Xcopy BACKUP of Hyper-V http://blogs.technet.com/b/enterprise_admin/archive/2009/11/19/diskshadow-xcopy-backup-of-hyper-v.aspx Thanks! -- DG -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
