Any chance someone might have this whitepaper?
=20
Justin, it has been my experience that VSP is virtually useless for
regular file based backups . . . that said I don't think there is anyway
to get around it's use for flashbackup clients. For the most part that
is the only time I use VSP on my windows clients, and I turn off VSP for
any clients that complain about not enough diskspace or if I happen to
be looking at the client properties for a client and it is turned on . .
.
=20
One thing that I found interesting when using VSP with flashbackup is
that you have to specify VSP because the windows client will use VSS if
you have to policy snapshot set to auto.

So I would have to add each client in there and modify it
appropriately.
Hm, currently I have the 4.5 clients such as: 50mb/150mb & VSP
on but disable snapshot and continue.
Overall, is it worth using VSP at all?
=20
All it seems to do is produce errors and fill up the disk, and
the majority of files it fails for is big databases (30-200GB) that
cannot be backed up anyway.
=20
The work-around would be to add EACH of 200 clients or so (for
me) and then tell it to disable the snapshot and retry and then maintain
the list, etc, with 4.5, everything was set in one place, the client
host properties.
=20
Calling out to everyone - who uses VSP, is it really useful?
=20
Thanks,
=09
Justin.

Yes, in Host properties->Master, then select the master and go
to Client Attributes. Add the client there and don't click Enable
Windows Open File Backup for this client.
