Detailed Description

This cmdlet enables the VSS settings in the selected job.

VSS (Volume Shadow Services) is a Windows OS service allowing to copy files of running applications that can be modified at the moment of copying. The VSS-aware applications typically are Active Directory, Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Exchange, Sharepoint, etc. To create a transactionally consistent backup of a VM running VSS-aware applications without shutting them down, Veeam Backup & Replication uses application-aware image processing. It allows backup the data fully and consistently.

You can enable the VSS settings in case you have these settings set beforehand. Use this cmdlet to enable the VSS settings that were disabled with Disable-VBRJobVSSIntegration.

You can run this cmdlet with backup and replica jobs including vCloud jobs.
