Compatibility of Acronis Online VSS snapshots and Windows Server backup VSS snapshots?

Thread needs solution

Are the VSS snapshots taken by Acronis Online compatible with Windows Server Backup VSS snapshots?

That is, will the two sets of VSS snapshots not interfere with each other?

Note: The WSB would be using the setting "VSS Copy Backup"

Hello T G,

Thank you for your post.

In Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 the VSS Snapshot is done by default using the Microsoft VSS Provider. If you define to use the Acronis VSS Provider, the Microsoft VSS Provider is not used. So every time only one VSS Provider is used.

You will find more Information about in our Online Help regarding this theme.

Let me know if you need additional help please.

Thank you.
