The source server must be running an operating system that supports VSS quiescing. The following lists the supported guest operating systems:
▪
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
▪
Windows Server 2012
▪
Windows Server 2012 R2
▪
Windows Server 2016

NOTE: As per VMware KB article 60395, quiescing is not supported for Windows Server 2019.
•
For VM backups, you must be running VMware® ESXi™ 6.0 or later with updated VMware Tools.
•
For application consistency, the application must support VSS quiescing. As shown in the following table, application consistency is not always available with the basic quiescing options. In these situations, you may use the vRanger VSS Tools for application-level consistency.
