DESCRIPTION

This command allows a shadow copy to be managed.

This command is used on a backup server. This command is used only in the case where the user wants to delete a shadow copy, or to check a shadow copy status from a backup server because the Exchange server has stopped. It is not necessary to use this command to perform normal everyday backup.

State display function

The shadow copy state created by the ETERNUS Disk storage system provider is acquired and displayed from the VSS of a backup server.

The contents of a display are as follows.

Title	Description
Original-Volume	The volume name of Windows of a source volume ("\\?\Volume{GUID}\"). The volume name of a meaning expressed with the form to say is displayed.
Original-Machine	The machine name (computer name) in which reproducing agency volume exists is displayed.

Deletion function: The shadow copy created by the ETERNUS Disk storage system provider is deleted from the VSS of a backup server.
An OPC physical copy is stopped by the hardware provider when a dedicated provider for AdvancedCopy Manager is used in Windows Server 2003.
When ETERNUS VSS Hardware Provider is used in Windows Server 2008 or later, OPC physical copy is not stopped.
The synchronous processing and QuickOPC are not stopped in both of the above.
