TechNet Support WebCast: Volume Shadow Copy service Provider API and System Provider overview

Session Summary

Friday, December 3, 2004

This Support WebCast discusses the Volume Shadow Copy service, a new service in both Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Volume Shadow Copy service is essentially a new framework that improves communication between applications, storage subsystems, and storage management applications (including backup applications). It helps to define, persist, and best use point-in-time copies of storage data for backup and restore, and other purposes. This WebCast also talks about the Provider APIs and System Provider.

This is a Level 400 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=gp;en-us;webcastlevels&sd=gn) session presented by Paul Luber.

Paul Luber has been with Microsoft for more than four years. He is a program manager in the Windows Core File Services team primarily focused on the Volume Shadow Copy service, and he has been responsible for other storage technologies at Microsoft in the past. Before he joined the Windows Core File Services team, Paul worked in Microsoft Research in the area of performance analysis and optimizations.

Paul is joined by Norbert Kusters, a 14-year veteran at Microsoft. Norbert is a developer in the Windows Core File Services team.
