So I can't install Data Ontap VSS hardware provider, is there anything I can do to install the Hardware provider only to backup with DPM meanwhile ? The aim is to replace DPM with SMHV at the final step be we need to have a backup of the VM until the case is resolved.</P><P></P><P>Thanks.</P><P></P><P>Valéry.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:18:52 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Microsoft-Virtualization-Discussions/Microsoft-DPM-and-Netapp-VSS-hardware-provider-without-snapdrive-installation/m-p/3765#M200 vloiseau 2025-06-05T06:18:52Z Re: Microsoft DPM and Netapp VSS hardware provider without snapdrive installation ? https://community.netapp.com/t5/Microsoft-Virtualization-Discussions/Microsoft-DPM-and-Netapp-VSS-hardware-provider-without-snapdrive-installation/m-p/3770#M201 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><STRONG>Update</STRONG> : the few tests I made (by disabling the SWSVC) make the things evident that Netapp VSS HW provider work in conjonction with Snapdrive.
