Understanding VSS
14

In the real world, people make mistakes

Accidentally delete files
Accidentally overwrite important data

Todays answer: restore from backup

BUT: Single-file restore from backup tape is expensive
Requires network administrator time and effort

With Windows Server 2003, restore is done by the user without

administrator involvement
Less end-user down time
Better use of IT resources
Better TCO

Backup Security
15

To Backup Files and Directories user should have User Rights,

or NTFS Read permission

To Restore Files and Directories user should have User Rights,

or NTFS Write permission

Privileges are assigned to both the Administrators and Backup

Operators group, so the minimum required privilege can be
given to a users, a group, or a service account by nesting the
account in Backup Operators group on the server
