Using 5.1, master is Solaris, we have had very high tread counts when
attempting certain window's backup. This has been trace to VSS.
Realizing that VSS or Microsoft Shadow Copy Provider  can be disable by
disabling the service on a window's box, I have a box that because it's
the end of the month I can't modify. The question is from the NetBackup
perspective is there anyway I can tell NetBackup not to try to start the
VSS service when it attempts a backup?

TIA,

Rick.
