Support for snapshot backups with Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) writer
Domino now provides a native Windows VSS writer for snapshot backups for use with the Domino backup and restore. VSS writers are designed for application-aware VSS snapshots.
VSS supports auto-recovery which enables Domino to write any backup delta information directly into the snapshot to bring all databases to a consistent state. The resulting snapshot is recoverable directly from the snapshot and does not require restore and activation from Domino.
