To create a new backup specification for the VSS integration, proceed as follows:
1. In the HP Data Protector Manager, switch to the Backup context.
2. In the Scoping Pane, expand Backup Specifications.
3. Right-click MS Volume Shadow Copy Writers and click Add Backup.
4. In the Create New Backup dialog box, select the backup type. You can choose
between the following types:
• Local or network backup
This type is used for single host VSS backup. If you want to perform a ZDB
for instant recovery purposes, you need a hardware provider. Otherwise,
no hardware provider is required.
• VSS transportable backup
Use this option to create replicas on the application system and present them
to the backup system, which can perform the backup to tape.
This option selects the VSS ZDB backup. A hardware provider is required
for this type of backup.
