Restore Operations Using a VSS Provider

The HPE VSS Hardware Provider now enables application-aware restore of a volume through third party backup software, which uses a vendor-provided VSS Hardware Provider for both backup and recovery workflows.

Before restoring, you must do the following:
  1. Configure the group credentials on the host using Set-Configuration cmdlet. Provide the group management IP and group credentials as inputs. The group credentials must be power user or higher.
  2. Change the user account of the HPE VSS hardware provider service to that of the logged-in user. The user account must match the user account used to set the group credentials.
