VSS and the Backup Manager

When used to manage VSS backups, the Backup Manager lets you browse Writers and Components on local or remote computers. The Writers appear at the same level as volumes, system state, and other agents. Expanding a Writer reveals its associated Components.

Any Writer displayed in the Backup Manager can be selected for backup, but Components can only be selected if they can be backed up separately. The Writer is always part of the backup when any of its Components are selected.
