Backup Manager Volume Shadow Copy Service Options

You can specify global options for using the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). These options affect all Writers for VSS backups, but they do not apply to transportable VSS backups.

Note: For more information on VSS, see the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service Guide.

On the Volume Shadow Copy Service tab, the File System Backup group box lets you specify how you want Arcserve Backup to handle open files during file system backups. These options do not affect Writers and Components.

The Writers and Components group box lets you specify how you want Arcserve Backup to treat Writers and Components. These global options affect all Writers, except for those with Writer-specific options in place. For more information about setting Writer-specific options, see the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service Guide.
