Shadow Copy (also known as Volume Snapshot Service, [1] Volume Shadow Copy Service [2] or VSS [2]) is a technology included in Microsoft Windows that can create backup copies or snapshots of computer files or volumes, even when they are in use. It is implemented as a Windows service called the Volume Shadow Copy service.
Backup and Restore [1] (formerly Backup and Restore Center [2]) is the primary backup component of Windows Vista and Windows 7. It can create file and folder backups, as well as system images backups, to be used for recovery in the event of data corruption , hard disk drive failure , or malware infection.
Disk cloning software facilitates a disk cloning operation by using software techniques to copy data from a source to a destination drive or to a disk image. List [ edit ]
A reverse incremental backup method starts with a non-image full backup. After the full backup is performed, the system periodically synchronizes the full backup with the live copy, while storing the data necessary to reconstruct older versions. This can either be done using hard links—as Apple Time Machine does, or using binary diffs.
A full backup of a large data set may take a long time to complete. On multi-tasking or multi-user systems, there may be writes to that data while it is being backed up.This prevents the backup from being atomic and introduces a version skew that may result in data corruption.
In some cases, hardware support for shadow copy backups means that actually saving the virtual copies is unnecessary. Shadow copy backups are always full backups. Restore can be used to apply a single backup, or it can be used to apply a combination of a single full backup with one or more incremental backups.
New York played keep-away from Buffalo's explosive K-Gun offense, holding the ball for nearly 41 minutes, and got nice efforts from MVP Ottis Anderson (102 yards, TD) and backup QB Jeff Hostetler.
Add-on database and application modules provide backup services for products such as Oracle, DB2, SAP, Lotus, Informix, and Sybase, as well as Microsoft Exchange Server, SharePoint, and SQL Server. Client backup data can be sent to a remote NetWorker storage node or stored on a locally attached device by the use of a dedicated storage node.
