Volume Shadow Copy service

  • The VSS Writer allows backup and restore using the Volume Shadow Copy framework. This service is disabled by default. If you do not use Volume Shadow Copy, disable this service. If you are running SQL Server outside of an Active Directory® directory service, disable the Active Directory Helper

    How how identify that whether we are using Volume Shadow Copy service for backup and restore?

    What happens if I stop this service. i.e how it effects the SQL Server 2005?

    thanks

  • CHeck out this article on how to disable the service, as well as for some info on the service
