VeeamВ BackupВ &В Replication prepares applications for VSS-aware restore.

VSS-aware restore is performed when the VM is started after you restore it from the backup or fail over to a VM replica.

VeeamВ BackupВ &В Replication collects information about applications installed on VMs - this information is required for VSS-aware restore.

VeeamВ BackupВ &В Replication deploys the non-persistent runtime components or, if necessary, persistent agent components on the VM and detects if the VM runs any of the supported applications.

If you enable application-aware processing in job settings, VeeamВ BackupВ &В Replication performs the following operations as a part of the backup or replication process: For more information, see VMware Tools Quiescence and Pre-Freeze and Post-Thaw Scripts. To process such VMs, you can use VMware Tools quiescence with pre-freeze and post-thaw scripts. If a VM runs an application that does not support Microsoft VSS (there is no VSS writer for this particular type of application, for example, MySQL), VeeamВ BackupВ &В Replication will not be able to utilize Microsoft VSS and application-aware processing for this VM. To use application-aware processing, you must have VMware Tools and the latest updates installed on the VM guest OS.

ДЄpplication-aware processing is supported for Microsoft Windows client versions starting from Windows Vista and for server versions starting from Windows Server 2008. For more information about Microsoft VSS, see Microsoft Docs. Use of Microsoft VSS ensures that there are no unfinished database transactions or incomplete application files when VeeamВ BackupВ &В Replication triggers the VM snapshot and starts copying VM data to the target. Microsoft VSS is responsible for quiescing applications on the VM and creating a consistent view of application data on the VM guest OS.

To create transactionally consistent backups or replicas of VMs that run Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Exchange or Oracle, you must enable application-aware processing in job settings.ДЄpplication-aware processing is the Veeam technology based on Microsoft VSS.
