Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 VSS writer

  • 아티클

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM VSS Writer Service provides added functionality for backup and restore of Microsoft Dynamics CRM databases through the Volume Shadow Copy Service framework.

Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is a set of Component Object Model (COM) application programming interfaces (APIs) that provides standardized interfaces, enabling backup and restoration software, such as Systems Center Data Protection Manager, to centrally manage the backup and restore operations on a variety of applications. VSS also implements a framework that enables volume backups to be performed while applications on a system continue to write to the volumes.
