Does support for VHD mean that we can do a VSS shadow copy of our iStorage server images to a backup device?

Thanks!

VHD (Virtual Hard Disk Image Format) is used to be be compatible with Microsoft Virtual PC and Hyper-V virtual disk images.
VHD is irrelevant to the VSS, without VHD, you can also use VSS to backup or recovery a virtual disk image file (.img), we have already supported it.

Thanks for that info. The word backup doesn't appear in the online manual :-)

We have also found the problem, the x64 bit version of iStorage Server has this problem.
Thank you very much for your help.
