Hi all,
I'm running Networker 7.4.1 on Windows 2003 Server.
I'm having trouble trying to get Networker to use VSS to backup
Windows XP. From the admin guide:
In NetWorker software releases 7.1 and later, if a VSS client license
is present (for all Windows operating systems except Vista, which does
not require a VSS client license), NetWorker software uses VSS
technology to create snapshot backups of volumes and exact copies of
files, including all open files.
However I cannot install the VSS client onto XP, so I install the
regular networker client. Using this, I always get errors about being
unable to backup open files, for example:
VSS is not supported by Microsoft on XP. You need at least Windows 2003
to run VSS backups.
Hi Stan,
Hmm... the supplier who sold us Networker assured us that VSS and XP
would work so if it doesn't I'm going to have a word with them.
Does VSS work with Vista clients? I don't have any Vista clients here
to test myself unfortunately.
Thanks,
Nick
