Hi,

current setup:

master server : windows 2k3 enterprise; Netbackup 6.5.3 with enterprise client license
client: w2k3, 6.5.3 client, application which uses fileshare(consists of more number of small files)

Fileshare on the client is 500 GB and i am planning to go for Snapshot backup with VSS method.

polciy attributes select are
MSwindows-NT
perform snapshot backups is checked and VSS method is selected under snapshot options

now the question is
how much extra space is required snapshot to backup that 500 Gb volume using VSS method?
which drive will it use to create the snapshot?
will the the host properties settings for client attributes will help me in any way ?
if the way i am backing it up is wrong, what would be the best way to back it up?

more information would be provided if required.
