My server 2012 Netbackup client has VSS disabled in the OS However Netbackup is configured to use VSS for windows open files which is fine . I can see the vss snapshots being created and backup jobs running which is fine .. However Netbackups seems to be creating the snapshots randomly .. i.e Creating vss snapshots of D on E and all sorts ..
I think i need to force netbackup to create the snapshots on specified volumes .. i.e D on D ....??? or what is best practice as we now seem to be getting the follwoing on the largest volume causing the job to fail
The shadow copies of volume E: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time. Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow copied
or do I present a seperate volume say K and configure my 3 volume D , E and F to create my VSS snapshots on this dedicated K volume for VSS ???
