Support for ASR for these operating systems was introduced in Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive client version 6.2.2, at which time ASR was added to the Backup-Archive client's system state backup and restore capabilities.ĪSR-based recovery must be performed from within the Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE). However, beginning with Windows Vista and Windows 2008, Microsoft integrated ASR with Microsoft Volume Shadowcopy Service (VSS). ASR has been a feature of Microsoft Windows operating systems since Windows XP.
ASR is a feature of Microsoft Windows for backing up a system's disk and volume configuration, and restoring it during a bare metal restore operation.
