I have been asking at technet about if I could snapshot an exchange db
volume[1]. But it looks like that windows server backup is sort of doing
the same. Creating vs image, and backup that one. However they truncated
the exchange db log files after a succesful procedure.
I was wondering if someone is doing this already. How does the guest
freeze work exactly in windows (In linux it is quite clear no io is
done). I assume that if the guest is invoking the vss service, and then
you snapshot on the host environment. You have a snapshot with a vss
image? So if you want to recover, you first need to 'roll back' to that
internal vss image on the snapshot?
