Overview of the Windows VSS plug-in CLI

The Windows VSS plug-in enables you to use a command line interface (CLI) with the avvss command instead of Avamar Administrator to back up and restore Windows VSS data. You can use the CLI from all operating systems that the plug-in_name supports.

When you use the CLI to perform a backup, you specify the options for the Windows VSS plug-in binary on the command line. The plug-in interacts with the avtar process to write backup data to or read backup data from the Avamar server or a Data Domain system.

The avvss binary is available in the C:\Program Files\avs\bin folder, where C:\Program Files\avs is the Avamar client installation folder.

To use the CLI, open a command prompt and change directory to the bin folder of the Avamar client installation folder. Then type the command at the command prompt.
