By itself, rsync isn't VSS aware (nor should it be, really, since rsync acts on files and VSS acts on volumes) but I, Mr. Kosowsky and others here have put together various ways for VSS and rsync to work together with BackupPC to back up Windows and its various services. Due to the way Microsoft has put together VSS, a VSS writer for Exchange in conjunction with the above should work for full volume backups for Exchange just as a VSS writer for SQL Server will do the same for SQL Server. It won't be aware of individual databases (you'd need to interact with the VSS API for that.) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange/aa579284%28v=exchg.140%29.aspx Note also that recovery may be tricky; as with any backup solution, I highly recommend testing it before relying upon it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
