Extended VSS Support (= Extended Volume Shadow Copy Support)

Extended VSS Support (= Extended Volume Shadow Copy Support) is a special ViceVersa PRO feature, which includes the ability to:

  1. Create Windows Volume Shadow Copies before Source and Target comparison on Windows Servers. This capability is required to backup and replicate Microsoft SQL and Exchange databases, Hyper-V machines and Oracle databases.

  2. It also includes the ability to use the special vss:\\ notation on Windows Servers as the source and/or target folder to easily select Volume Shadow Copy writers / components to backup and replicate.

To use the Extended VSS Support feature, a special ViceVersa PRO license for Windows 2008, 2003 with Extended VSS Support needs to be purchased (see buy page for more info).

The Extended VSS Support is enabled by default in the evaluation version.
