Introduction Before you install System requirements and compatibility Installing vRanger Upgrading vRanger

Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)

vRanger uses the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to provide application consistency. To leverage VSS, the following conditions must be met:

The source server must be running an operating system that supports VSS quiescing. The following lists the supported guest operating systems:

•
Windows Server 2012
•
Windows Server 2012 R2
•
Windows Server 2016
•
Windows Server 2019
* 
NOTE: As per VMware KB article 60395, quiescing is not supported for Windows Server 2019.
•
Windows Server 2022
•
For application consistency, the application must support VSS quiescing. As shown in the following table, application consistency is not always available with the basic quiescing options. In these situations, you may use the vRanger VSS Tools for application-level consistency.
