Hello people,

I am working with Networker for a while, and providing support to Networker module for Microsoft Application, there is a question that most of the customers allays ask to me. So I have come here (Microsoft community) looking to put some light on it.

Do I have to perform SQL backup as VDI or using VSS?

I know that as VDI, I can take also transaction logs, and so restore toa point in time and consistent databases. While with VSS it is usually faster, but you wont have the logs.

So, why should anyone want to use VSS backups? is there an especial situation where VSS is needed/better?

Thks very much!
