What is the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)?

December 18th, 2006 by uCertify Leave a reply »

The Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is a framework that is used to communicate between applications, storage subsystems, and storage management applications (including backup applications). This framework enables a user to define, persist, and use point-in-time copies of storage data. The Windows SharePoint Services VSS Writer is a new service in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and in the server products in the 2007 Office release. This writer service is used to enable a requestor to ask a front-end Web server to provide a VSS backup (full or differential), and Windows SharePoint Services then points the requestor to the SQL databases and the search index to be backed up by using VSS.
