• Use fast NTFS scan. Select this check box to enable MSP360 proprietary file scanning & search mechanism. This scanning method is based on a file tree generation, which allows faster navigation and faster backup procedure as a result

• Force using VSS. Select this check box if you want the Backup for Windows to back up objects from a snapshot in order to avoid any access conflicts. This option is efficient to forced backups of files that are used by other processes at the time of backup.To learn more, refer to the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) article

• Use system VSS provider. Select this check box in case you experience issues with a third-party VSS provider. Once the backup plan is started, the Backup Agent will use the system VSS provider forcibly.
