VSS Support
The Volume Shadow Copy Service is a technology included in Microsoft’s systems that allows for the execution of file and volume consistent snapshots.
Thanks to the VSS service, it’s possible to back up files or volumes even as they’re being used, meaning while you’re working on them. By default, our application uses the VSS service when performing a backup, but you as the user have the ability to disable this option.
One of the most important arguments for using VSS is to maintain data consistency. If there are any dependent files on a disk, you’ll be able to restore them from exactly the same point in time thanks to the snapshot. It’s worth noting that Xopero ONE creates a snapshot on all disks included in the copy simultaneously.
