Working with VSS snapshots

The VSS Provider creates a VSS snapshot as a persistent target in the MS iSCSI initiator. The VSS
snapshot also appears in the CMC with the naming convention of VSS-<unique id>. The snapshot
is available as needed to the backup application. When the snapshot is no longer needed, it is deleted
from both the CMC and the iSCSI initiator.

Viewing a VSS-named snapshot in the CMC

NOTE:
When working with other backup products, all VSS snapshots remain in the CMC until processing is
complete, and then they are deleted. If they are not deleted, you can delete them manually when you
are certain that the backup process is finished.

Transportable snapshots

VSS snapshots can be used as transportable snapshots; that is, they can be mounted on a different
server for backup. Transportable snapshots are persistent, which means they remain in the CMC and
the iSCSI initiator until the backup is finished.
NOTE:
To use transportable snapshots on Windows Server 2003 Standard, you must install the Microsoft
QFE referenced in Microsoft Knowledge Base article listed at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913648.
