You can't reliably snap a virtual HD while windows is running. If you restored to it, when you boot windows it will come up from an inconsistent state as if the power cord had been pulled from a physical computer. You can do it, but a safe approach would be to enable snaps manually only, and make sure the VM's are off when you do it at which point i/o is obviously quiesced in the guest (of course) and not high in the host (no guests running) so the snap would happen rather quickly.
YMMV, jlc -----Original Message----- From: James Kerr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 9:01 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: VSS and VM Ware If I run VSS on a volume that contains a VM Ware server, will it cause me problems? Will the virtual server be unresponsive while the VSS service is looking at it? Is it a bad idea to run VSS on a volume with a virtual server? An inquiring mind wants to know.
