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,

Thanks,

Nick
