Is there any changes to the VSS framework in Denali to use Listener connection for backup.

Question

HI

IS it possible to use VSS writer to backup a availability group database through Listener connection ,If The answer is yes then what will be the VSS componenet details? ,What will be the component changes to the VSSif backup  triggered on Listner after a failover to a new node.

 

Answer 1

VSS is implemented as a local COM interface, so there needs to be some piece of code running locally.  That code would be the component which would respond to the network connection, and would then need to listen to the Listener port.
