The vssusesystemprovider option specifies whether to use the Windows system provider, or to let Windows decide the most suitable provider to use.
Use the vssusesystemprovider option for Microsoft Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) operations, such as system state backup or Tivoli® Storage Manager for Copy Services backups.
This option is valid for all Windows clients. The server can also define this option. The Tivoli Storage Manager client API does not support this option.
Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt).
