Volume Shadow Copy Service is only available on Windows 2003 and above. You can install the VSS Client on Windows 2000 machines; however this only allows you to view the VSS snapshots taken on a Windows 2003 machine.
>From my understanding Windows 2000 does not have VSS Server capabilities. So bacula is unable to take VSS snapshots for Windows 2000 servers.

VSS is not supported on Windows 2000 below Windows 2000 Server. It -is- supported on 2000 Server. -- Phil Stracchino [EMAIL PROTECTED] Renaissance Man, Unix generalist, Perl hacker Mobile: 603-216-7037 Landline: 603-886-3518 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
