system state backup procedure
Hi,
I would like to request if there any technical document of system state backup from symantec.
If not, need opinion from you guys to tell me how Veritas Netbackup does backup the system step. ...
Use the file directive ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES - it will backup Shadow Copy Components/System State.
Netbackup does not have special tool for backup of Shdow Copy Components it's uses a Windows API to do it (VSS snap). It's the only method supported by Microsoft.
Some info - it's and old tech note but still valid :
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH35151
and some MS note:
