    Detailed Description

    This cmdlet returns VSS settings set for a specific VM in 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.

    Run Get-VBRJobVSSOptions to get the list of VSS options of a specific job.
