Ax100 backup exec and VSS
I've been trying to get backup exec to back up over fibre with our ax100 san. From my readings, VSS is required. I've possibly seen that VSS is not supported with the AX100 san. Can someone clarify that for me?
Can I get the backup exec to do Advanced disk based backups with the ax100?
Thanks in advance.

If you're going to use the AX100 as a repository for your backups you don't need VSS.
If you're going to use the AX100's snapshot capabilities and present snapshots of production virtual disks to the backup server, VSS is required to flush IO just before the snapshot itself is taken.
