Shadow Copy Performance Question

gsmith · Guest

I'm testing vvengine on a windows 2003 server (running a groupwise postoffice) using the realtime mirroring. 100's of files can change every minute. Which would cause a shadow snap shot almost continually. Is this ok?

Also, does vv pro queue these sync of tries to do each immediatly?

Thanks.

Sorry, that last question should have been:
Also, does vv pro queue these sync "or try" to do each immediatly?

Another question:

Does ViceVersa use shadow copy "just" for locked files? If I enable it and it uses it for all files locked\unlocked. I can see a senario where it would miss a changed file.

The file changes, the changed files is not in the snap shot, the sync fails for some reason. The next snap shot overwrites the 1st and since this file didn't change it's no longer part of the snap shot. How do I handle this.

Thanks again.

Hi

My follow-up doesn't appear to be posting so please forgive me if this shows up more than once.

Differentials are based on the last full. How do I create this full snap shot? I would like to (once a week) run a full comparison to make sure nothing has been missed.

Thanks.

I'm not sure waht you mean. I want to run this weekly under a seperate profile automatically. Is the "compare" on of the backup methods?

Thanks.

Hi, when you run a profile, ViceVersa compares source and target. It does not use a snapshot for that. Viceversa uses the "live" situation to compare source and target. Next, if VSS is activated, it creates a snapshot of source and/or target and copy files using the snapshot.
