The command line utilities are available in the Symantec Storage Foundation for Windows installation directory.
The vxsnap utility integrates with the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) as a VSS Requester. This allows for the simultaneous snapshot of all volumes associated with an Exchange Server database.
Note the following requirements:
Disk groups must be of a Storage Foundation for Windows 4.0 or later version. You must upgrade any disk groups created using an earlier version of Volume Manager for Windows before using the vxsnap utility
The CLI commands run only on the server. They will not run on the Symantec Storage Foundation for Windows client.
The vxsnap commands must be invoked on a local system.
For Windows Server 2008, all CLI commands must run in the command window in the "run as administrator" mode.
