VSS Does Not Allow Backup and Restore Operations on tempdb

Each time the SQL Server is started, a clean copy of the system database tempdb is recreated. This database minimally logs operations such as temporary tables and stored procedures. This logging enables transactions to be rolled back.

The VSS does not allow backup and restore operations to work on tempdb. After the current SQL Server session disconnects, and no other connections are active at system shutdown, the temporary tables and stored procedures are automatically dropped from the database. Because no type of data is permanently stored in tempdb from one SQL Server session to another, the database does not need to be saved.

For more information about the tempdb system database, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article at msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms190768.aspx.
