1.3 Operational Procedure
1.3.1 Server Configuration
VSSHP supports the following server configurations. These configurations depend on the requester to
be used. Check which configuration is supported by the requester and decide the server configuration.
• Configuration using one Windows server that works as both a production server and a backup
server (hereafter referred to as "Local Copy Configuration")
• Configuration using different Windows servers for the production server and backup server
(hereafter referred to as "Transportable Copy Configuration")
To back up a virtual machine on a host OS in which Hyper-V is installed, refer to "1.3.1.3
Local Copy
Configuration (when Backing Up a Hyper-V Virtual Machine)" (page 20) or "1.3.1.4 Transportable Copy
Configuration (when Backing Up a Hyper-V Virtual Machine)" (page 21).
For all other cases, refer to "1.3.1.1
Local Copy Configuration" (page 17) or "1.3.1.2 Transportable
Copy Configuration" (page 18).
1.3.1.1 Local Copy Configuration
• Used as both the production server and backup server.
• A requester and writer that support VSS are installed in the same server.
For Hyper-V settings, only virtual machines on the host OS are targeted for backing up.
