Hello Nick,
It is indeed just not possible, with this release, sorry. It is on our
list of functionality to add as soon as possible, but neither VSS
Client, nor its follow-on NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications,
can be installed on the same system with NetWorker Server.
The VSS capability of the NetWorker client that comes with NetWorker
7.4.1 should be able to accomplish this, however. It will take
snapshots of the system via VSS and move the snapshots immediately into
NetWorker media.
The scenario where we have no good VSS solution is where one of the
major applications (e.g. Exchange or SQL) is installed on the same
system as NetWorker Server, which most people do not do.
Hope that this helps,
_Scott

Subject: [Networker] VSS Client on Networker server and exchange
Hi all,
This probably has a very obvious answer but I can't seem to find it in
any of the manuals I've looked at (Networker 7.4.1 installation/admin
guide and VSS client install and admin guide).
If I have a Networker 7.4.1 server on Windows 2003 (32 bit) and I want
to use VSS to back itself up - how can I do it? If I install Networker
server first then try to install the VSS client it says to uninstall the
server first.
But if I install the VSS client first, then try to install the server it
says to uninstall the VSS client.
Is it just not possible?
Thanks,
Nick
