VSP (Volume Snapshot Provider) Properties

The VSP properties apply to currently selected Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 client(s).

In order for the properties in this dialog to affect client(s), VSP must be selected as the snapshot provider for the client(s). VSP is the default Windows snapshot provider.

Snapshots are a point-in-time view of a source volume. NetBackup uses snapshots to access busy or active files during a backup job.

To make VSP the snapshot provider for a Windows client, select NetBackup Management > Master Servers > Select master server for the client > Client Attributes > Use VERITAS Volume Snapshot Provider. See Client Attributes Properties.
