It is more important to understand the Writer and Requestor ATTIX The VSS plug in is a Requestor that in theory can back up any database or service that has a VSS writer These would include MS Exchange and MS SQL to name a few In short it works like this 1 e 1 f During the first backup the VSS plug in connects to the VSS writer of the database reads all the data and compresses it to the ToBackup folder from where it is transmitted to the Storage Platform no database dump is done After the backup the data that has been sent to the Storage Platform is moved from the ToBackup folder to the cache For subsequent backups the data in the cache is compared to the database data as it is being read by the VSS plug in to work out patches which are again stored in the ToBackup folder The patches are transmitted to the Storage Platform After transmission to the Storage Platform the cache is updated by applying the patches to the files in the cache Repeat from step 3 Notes The VSS plug in sometimes picks up a System State writer This writer is not supported and should not be used For System State backup and restore use the System State plug in It can be seen that with the VSS plug in databases are treated as large files with no need to dump them separately If Delta Blocking is used the disk space requirements are further reduced sometimes at the expense of larger backups Advantages Makes
