Using Zerto with VSS

Zerto Disaster Recovery with VSS

Zerto's disaster recovery (DR) solution provides the ability to recover files, software and functionality.

The Microsoft Volume Shadow copy Service (VSS) enables taking manual or automatic backup copies or snapshots of data, even if it has a lock, on a specific volume at a specific point-in-time over regular intervals. This ensures not just that the data is crash-consistent, but also application consistency if recovery is needed.

Zerto enables adding checkpoints to the journal that are synchronized with VSS snapshots.

Using Application-aware Retention with VSS

Zerto's Application-aware Retention captures the state of application data at the scheduled Retention process time. This includes data in memory and pending transactions which ensure continuous use of the application upon restore. See Application-aware Retention for more information.
