The process for restoring common Writer VSS backups, transportable or non-transportable, is essentially the same. However, you should have a working knowledge of the application whose files and components are to be restored. While in many cases the VSS Writer specifies the backup and restore methods for its application files and components, there may be some additional manual steps and procedures required for the restore process. For example, Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 requires that its stores are dismounted before the restore job begins. For more guidelines for specific applications and VSS, see Application-Specific Guidelines.
See the documentation for the application associated with the VSS Writer or contact the application’s vendor for additional information about restoring from the Writer.
Writers that allow custom restore jobs may need extra processing to complete the restore process. These steps are application specific and not part of Arcserve Backup functionality. To restore these Writers, the data should be restored to an alternate location and the necessary files and extra processing should be carried out according to the application’s specification. Arcserve Backup does not support restoring Writers declaring themselves to be custom restore jobs to the original location. For more information about alternate locations, see Restore Locations.
