Veeam Backup VSS Integration 12.3

Veeam Backup VSS Integration, developed by Veeam Software Group GmbH, enables application‑aware, transaction‑consistent backups of Windows-based workloads by orchestrating Microsoft’s Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). It coordinates VSS freeze and thaw operations inside the guest operating system, working with application-specific VSS writers to safely quiesce services and capture consistent snapshots without disrupting production. After a successful backup, it can automatically handle application log management where supported, helping ensure reliable recovery points and streamlined restores.

Key capabilities:

• Application-consistent protection for Windows servers and VMs running workloads such as Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange, Active Directory, and SharePoint
• Coordination with VSS writers to prevent data corruption in transactional applications
• Automatic log truncation for supported applications following successful backups
• Seamless integration with Veeam Backup & Replication for policy-driven protection and item‑level recovery
• Support for both virtual and physical Windows workloads that rely on VSS

By leveraging native VSS mechanisms, Veeam Backup VSS Integration helps organizations minimize risk, meet recovery objectives, and improve confidence in restores—from full-system recoveries to granular, application‑item recoveries—across their Windows environments.
