144 Appendix
MS VSS
Tivoli Storage Manager
Table 54 MS VSS specifications
Product name: Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS)
Manufacturer: Microsoft
Version: A component of Windows 2003
Supported FMA versions: 2.x
Operating system: Windows 2003
Restrictions: FMA does not support “file activation” for files that have been restored to a
new location. Restoring files is only supported to their original location.
1. Restoring previous versions from VSS to the original location
Offline files that were restored from snapshots must be set to a “CLEAN”
state by FMA administrative tools.
No restrictions exist to the restore of online files.
2. Viewing previous versions from VSS
Viewing previous versions of files that were offline during the volume
snapshooting is not supported.
3. Copying previous versions from VSS to a different location
Copying previous versions from VSS to a different location is not supported
by FMA.
Remark: Volume snapshots can be taken on FMA managed volumes; there is no
negative interference between VSS and FMA.
Taking volume shadow copies will not initiate recalls of already released files.
But FMA 2.0 does not provide a writer component to VSS for synchronizing
volume shadow copy operations.
Therefore, a consistency of open files cannot be guaranteed when taking
volume snapshots.
