I thought that VSS took a point in time snapshot of the entire volume. That any transactions would be read/write by the OS, and the VSS reader would read the "before" data if you will.
>From what I can tell the only drawback is the fact that IBM has not integrated >the DBPAUSE into a VSS driver for the Windows platform. (Which from what I >read is similar to what happens on other database platforms when the VSS is >engaged) My understanding is that other database providers integrate this to cause the data flush to disk before the snapshot occurs, and to suspend any new transactions until the initial snapshot transaction completes. I would like to see IBM put some engineering into this in a future release to integrate it a little better on Windows. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
