Hi.
 
I've tested both VSP and VSS in the lab. The backup with VSP worked quickly
but did not backup all files (status 1). With VSS, the backup started with
40 minutes delay but backed up  everything (Status 0).
 
Don't really know what goes with pst's.
 
Regards,
 
Jim

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NB 6 and VSP on Windows


Hi,
 
I'm a bit of a newbie to Netbackup (but learning shed-loads rather rapidly)
and have a question about VSP for open file backups. I've had some people
who use this and others who don't although I've not had any reasons for
either case.
I'm wondering if it's generally a good idea on things like Windows file
servers (where especially pst files are often open), DHCP and DDNS servers
(non Active Directory DDNS). On Windows 2003, it seems VSS is better for
open file backups (although this may be wrong).
What are the cons with using VSP?

 
Cheers,
