8. Depending on the backup type, in the next step the following two options are
possible:
• With a local or network backup, Data Protector backs up the data from the
shadow copy to media and then notifies the VSS service that the shadow
copy can be released. VSS issues a command to the shadow copy provider
to destroy the shadow copy that has been already backed up. Figure
20 on page 67 shows the relations between the actors of a local or network
VSS backup.
• With a transportable VSS backup, the shadow copy is presented to the
backup system. Data Protector backs up the data from the shadow copy on
the backup system to the backup media.
After the backup is completed, the vssbar agent on the backup system deletes
the shadow copy and disconnects from the application system. Figure
21 on page 68 shows the relations between the actors of a VSS transportable
backups.
