VSS is a Microsoft service and is available only on Windows operating systems.
Xopero ONE uses Shadow Copy (aka Volume Snapshot Service, Volume Shadow Copy Service, or VSS) for its backup operations. VSS is a technology included in Microsoft Windows that can create backup copies or snapshots of computer files or volumes, even when they are in use.
When creating a backup plan, you can enable the use of VSS in the Advanced settings—simply toggle the switch. You can also allow the backup to continue even if VSS errors occur.
Without VSS, backup data may become inconsistent. Use this option only if you fully understand the risk — for example, when running backups outside of working hours.
