Transportable snapshots are supported with all editions of MS Windows Server 2003, SP2
onwards. The VSS/VDS Hardware Provider must be installed and configured on Application and Backup
Server.
Instant recovery can be performed on Windows if a supported VDS Hardware Provider is installed
and configured on Application Server (for local backup) and on the Backup Server as well (for
transportable backup). Instant recovery is also possible using SMIS or SSE agents on non-windows
platforms.
