Selecting the backup items
The steps for all subsequent screens are the same as for the corresponding non-VSS backup types:
Microsoft SQL Server: Follow from “Specifying the backup items” in the section for Microsoft SQL Server Database backups.
NOTE:  A VSS-aware backup set of a Microsoft SQL Server’s ‘master’ database does not support the ‘Full+Differential’ database backup policy.
For more information, see the Knowledge Base article in “Backup / Restore of Microsoft SQL Server (VSS-aware backup sets)”.
Microsoft Exchange Server: Follow from “Specifying the backup items” in the section for Microsoft Exchange Server backups.
For more information, see the Knowledge Base article in “Backup / Restore of Microsoft SQL Server (VSS-aware backup sets)”.
Microsoft Hyper-V Server: Follow from “Specifying the backup items” in the section for File system backups.
For more information, see the Knowledge Base article in “Backup / Restore of Microsoft Hyper-V (VSS-aware backup sets)”.
Microsoft Hyper-V Server Cluster: Follow from “Specifying the backup items” in the section for File system backups. (Microsoft Hyper-V cluster backup requires the selection of Cluster Virtual Node by IP address.)
Refer to the Knowledge Base article in “Backup / Restore of Microsoft Hyper-V (VSS-aware backup sets)” for specific instructions before proceeding.
Microsoft SharePoint Server: Follow from “Selecting the backup items” in the section for Microsoft SharePoint Server backups.
