How to use it
- For open or locked files, enable Read from VSS snapshot on Protection.
- VSS requires administrator privileges and working Windows VSS services. If snapshot creation fails, inspect the detailed log.
- Enable Stop backup on mass changes and set the percentage threshold for changed or missing files.
- If the threshold is exceeded against the previous backup, the job stops before upload and deletion. Expected bulk changes can also trigger this check.
- Inspect the source. Resolve suspicious changes before disabling protection and running the job again.
Good to knowAnomaly detection is not antivirus. VSS does not guarantee application consistency for every database; use application-aware backup methods for critical systems.
