Snapshots - Do ALL servers need to use...

Snapshots - Do ALL servers need to use "Volume shadow copy" active to work?

I have enabled it on all 2003 servers but I have 1 server with 2000 and one server that has to little space left on the drive to run shadow copy at all.

Will this affect the overall snapshots on all servers?

We use only 1 destination for all jobs.

Ie. we have 15 servers and all saves to the same destination.

Should I split the jobs on several destinations? Like putting the server with 2000 and to little space on one destination and let the others run on their own?

Any hints are appreciated...

Regards
Conny

Hi,

Volume Shadow Copy Service is supported on windows 2003 and not on windows 2000.

When using AOFO for both windows 2003 and windows 2000 you can select the option "Automatically select open file technology".

Also note that during database backups like exchange and sql the advanced open file option should not be selected.
