Transportable VSS Backup and Restore - MSDE Writers

Transportable VSS backups of the MSDE Writer can only be restored by Session. See Restore Methods for a description of the types of restore available in the Restore Manager.

Because transportable VSS backups are run as multistreaming jobs and, for the MSDE Writer, each database is backed up to a different session, to restore the entire MSDE Writer, you must individually restore each database session. Each session is one database.
