Yes according to Microsoft one should be able to backup both Exchange 2003 and MSSQL 2000 databases with VSS, http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=822896&product=exch2003 I am still a bit confused about how to get this to work though... Are VSS enabled in the Winbacula-1.37.22 version of the client, or do I have to build one from CVS? I have added "Enable VSS = Yes" in the FileSet resource in bacula-dir.conf but Bacula does not seem to use VSS...
