VSS vs. Exchange Backup and Restore
1. the smallest unit can be backed up by using VSS is Storage Group
2. VSS can only make Full Backup or Copy
3. requestor: normally backup software, which requests to create a shadow copy Note: Windows NTBackup utility doesn't support VSS against Exchange yet
writer: the database application itself, such as Exchange, SQL Server, AD
provider: the hardware or software vendor actually provide VSS function
4. Virtual Disk Service(VDS): a universal API for different providers
5. ExWriter.dll is Exchange 2003's writer
6. Exchange system manager is required on the backup server as the backup server will have to verify
the integrity of the backup by using eseutil
7. VSS is not a replacement of routine backup, but a improvement of doing backup8 VSS cannot use RSG

In response to David's question
=========================
Seems you are big guy at Exchange. I'm not familar with it, but might will have a project for me seting up to monitor Exchange server. So any suggestions?
Answer
======
couple ways you can monitor your Exchange server.
1) you can do it via Exchange System Manager, open the properties of server object, Monitoring tab, define whatever as you wish
expand Tools, "monitoring and Status", right here you can view the status realtime and define the action you want your exchange server to take when something happen
2) you can also monitor your exchange services in "services.msc" snap-in.
that is more an OS functionality than Exchange's
3) you can monitory your free space/cpu usage etc via System Monitor, again, it's a OS function
Please come back and visit my blog as I will add posts from time to time.
But since I am so lazy, I will prefer answering questions to writing new topic.
Hope this helps.

ever confused with "discontinued networks" and "auto summary" command in Cisco routers?
If you read only Sybex's "CCNA study guide", which is so well known in the Cisco certification community, and you don't have too much experience, you most likely lost yourself. So this book is not that good as so many people say.
