Is PrimoCache compatible with VSS?

Post by RAMbo »

I'm planning to use Macrium Reflect to make live snapshots op my system disk.
Macrium Reflect uses VSS. Will PrimoCache interfere with a proper backup?

Should not. But you may pause cache to avoid evicting cache content. Please check viewtopic.php?t=4738

With macrium reflect, when you have it create a VBS or powershell script from your backup definition, you can configure it to run a program before and after the backup. I have it pause primocache before and resume it after. Works great.

Another thing that can flush your cache is automated virus scans. That takes a little more work to avoid.

No issues with VSS.

Thanks for the ideas. I'm new to Macrium Reflect but I'll look into those options.
