Installing the Veritas VSS provider for vSphere
Note:
You must install the latest version of the Veritas VSS provider. If you have an existing version of the provider, you must first uninstall the old version. Upgrading the NetBackup Client does not upgrade the Veritas VSS provider.
To use the Veritas VSS provider you must install it manually following installation of the NetBackup for Windows client. If the VMware VSS provider is installed, the installation program removes it and may require a restart of the computer.

install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\goodies\ - Double-click on the Veritas VSS provider for vSphere shortcut.

- Following the restart, the utility resumes. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
To uninstall the Veritas VSS provider
- In the Control Panel, open Add or Remove Programs or Programs and Features.
