Configuring Microsoft Volume Shadow Services Backup Set Rules

For server backups, you might want to back up Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, Microsoft SQL Server, SYSVOL, registry, and COM+ data. This helps for quick restoration when you have data loss. Lenovo makes this process easy for you. For Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, Microsoft SQL Server, SYSVOL, registry, and COM+ data, Lenovo Online Data Backup uses the native Microsoft VSS writers to back up the data while the services are running. Microsoft VSS support is only available on Windows 2003 server or later.

Important: This functionality is only available with a Lenovo Online Data Backup server license.

If these services are running on your machine, the Lenovo Online Data Backup client automatically detects the available services and displays them in the Backup Sets tab.
