Control VSS from the command-prompt

You can control VSS from the command-prompt on a NetWorker client or the NMC server by using the -o option and the Save Operations commands, but only while performing a save, savefs, or nsrarchive operation.

For example, to completely disable VSS while backing up C:\myfile to the server jupiter, type:

save -s jupiter -o "vss:*=off" "C:\myfile"

Although the server name is not required in the preceding command example, include the name to ensure that the save command finds the correct server. Separate multiple Save Operations commands with a semicolon (;).

The NetWorker Command Reference Guide provides more information about the save, savefs, and nsrarchive commands.

NOTE:If you change the VSS setting on a client by using the Local Save Operations dialog box or the command prompt, it does not affect that client’s VSS setting on the server. Likewise, if you change a client’s VSS setting on the server, it does not affect the Local Save Operations setting or the command-prompt VSS setting on the client.
