Guest Vishal Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Hi, I wanted to find out ... ideally in a microsoft windows 2003 network consisting of ISA Server 2004, Exchange 2003, domain controller, file server and sql server 2000 - what should one VSS? At the moment we are only using VSS on the file servers. Are their any other servers that one should VSS as per best practicses? Thanks

Guest Vishal Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Re: Volume shadow service Hi Meinolf, I went through the links. My question .... let's see I have a shared folder on windows 2003 which has the roaming profiles. Would one also VSS that drive? thanks for your help. Vishal
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Re: Volume shadow service Hello Vishal, VSS is not looking if it is shared or not or what data is in it. It will create the copy. And do not forget VSS is not a full backup solution, you still need to have a backup strategy.

Guest Vishal Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Re: Volume shadow service Okay. Point noted. But do people VSS roaming profiles? Thanks
