Viceversa and multiple VSS invocations

[Nimral]

hi TGRMN,

I am currently using Viceversa to replicate files between 2 Windows 2003 (R2) servers. I use the Viceversa VSS functionality to replicate files as soon as they are modified. The server is also hosting SQL Server 2005 databases, but they are *not* replicated by ViceVersa, they do, however, reside in the same partitions, but in different directories.

Now I plan to use a Backup tool to back up the whole server, and the tool (ntbackup) does make use of the VSS service as well. It creates a volume snapshot to get a consistend backup.

I am not sure wether this does somehow influence Viceversa. Assuming a Volume shadow copy was created and the backup is still in progress, and one of the monitored files changes - will the file be replicated as usual, or does Viceversa wait until the backup is complete, or even worse, may it miss the file change?

Thx,

Armin.

Hi, Windows Server 2003 supports multiple shadow copies, so VV and NTBackup should not interfere ... thanks
