I don't see much difference between VSS and IBM i's Save While Active...--
Except that SWA has been available since at least 1997 or
1996...probably longer.
The problem is too many shops don't bother to use it.

Yes, comes up in recovery mode the first bootup, subsequent bootups
are normal.
Second is what are you doing with those servers? Are these hosting
Oracle or MSSQL Databases or are they file and print servers? Or arename
they just AD members that are used for remote desktop for example.
100GB database servers, print servers, file servers, web servers,
you
it. Everything in windows these days have volume shadow copy providers.better
IBM i really needs something like Windows volume shadow copy service
so you can achieve 100% up time during backups.
This is the only reason why I see AS400 shops are down periodically,
had the database been hosted on one of a windows box we would have
much
uptime.large

There is a large difference between a transaction oriented system
and a system hosting many flat (or 'stream') files.
