VSP is not good. I would turn it off.
For older legacy systems, it was fine, but it can cause a server to
have as it tries to take a snapshot of a drive. And it can sit there for
ages!
Personally, Win2k3 should be using VSS - Same as
Win2k8
Might well be wrong here, but by default, the VSP option is enabled,
but I think in 6.5.6, it is no longer enabled by default.
Generally I have found VSP does not play when you limit the size
its cache files can grow too.
As you said, best to make sure you have a ton of disk space
on the drive it is placing them on, and try not to run too many jobs at once as
it will kill your throughput and put a load on the machine. And even make it non
responsive !
you can also research tuning VSP, but for Win2k3 clients and higher,
why bother?? When VSS is much, much better. NBU Admin Guide Vol 1 is a friend to
talk to :-)

Hello,
There is one windows 2003 server and we are taking it's backup via VSP
.
What we have found that in last couple of weeks that when ever tha backup
starts the server gets hung.
PS:-We have adequate free space in all of the drives.
When i changed snapshot from VSP to VSS:-It started working fine.
Though i know that VSS is recommended for 2003 servers but we were using
VSP since long and thuis server hang issue is very new.
Please explain as i am a bit confused between VSP and VSS.
Does VSP play any part in making the server hung?
Does VSP deletes the nbu_vsp_cache after the reboot of the server ?
Or it's something else that ia making the server hung ?
Please clear me on this.
Thanks and Regards
Pranav
