Can I run BackupChain inside Virtual Machines?
Yes, you can install BackupChain backup software on guest operating systems inside virtual machines.
We recommend installing the Integration Services and enabling (and configuring to auto-start) the following services:
COM+ System Application Service
Distributed Transaction Coordinator Service
Volume Shadow Copy Service
VMware VSS writer (if using VMware)
Hyper VSS writer (if using Hyper-V)
Oracle VSS writer (if using Oracle 11g or later)
SQL Server VSS writer (if using Microsoft SQL Server)
Note: for VSS to work correctly you need to have an NTFS file system installed and sufficient hard drive space on the drive where the snapshots are taken.
