How does VSS work on top of DFSR when you're using MS VSS for "Previous Versions"? I have 2008 R2 and understand DFSR and VSS work well together, but am a bit unclear as to HOW and can't find any solid documentation.
When it's time for the scheduled VSS snapshot (hourly in my case) is this what happens?
VSS tells DFSR that it wants to create a snapshot, and therefore DFSR finishes what it is doing to ensure everything is in a consistent state and then puts itself on hold, VSS creates a snapshot and when it's complete DFSR resumes?
This is essentially what happens when using Backup Exec (backup DFSR through Shadow Copy Components and not selecting the folders on the drive, per the Symantec setup documentation) and MS VSS shapshots. You can tell this because of the event log entries in the DFSR log - 4008 and 1102. Curious as to how VSS ensures that the data is consistent with DFSR as I would expect something to be in the logs... Can anyone point me to some sources with this info?
