Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)
Overview
VSS is an option (for PeerSync Workstation and PeerSync
Server) that allows you to access locked files using the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service.
Licensing
The "Volume Shadow Copy (VSS)" allows PeerSync to access locked files using the VSS feature of Windows Platforms*. PeerSync has to be installed on the machine where locked data resides.

Specifications
- Ability to access locked source files for complete backup to selected target folders.
- Backup files used by MS Outlook (.pst) while Outlook is in use.
- Backup QuickBooks, or Quicken files in the background without user intervention.
