Itopia's Cloud Automation Stack (CAS) feature lets you schedule server-level snapshots of all servers in your VDI environment. Why Should I Configure VSS in My Deployment? They are also fast and easy to recover directly from Windows.
Shadow Copies are 'differential, block-level backups', meaning they only capture the changed bits of each file and so do not require a lot of storage space. You enable and schedule Shadow Copies on a disk, and you can then restore a file, folder, or the entire volume. One implementation of VSS is the Shadow Copies feature in Windows Server (called Restore Points in client versions of Windows). This allows Windows (or the application) to perform backup operations against the disk without worrying about changes that may occur while the backup is running. Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is a feature in Microsoft Windows that allows the OS or applications to periodically take 'point-in-time snapshots' of an entire disk without locking the filesystem.
