P 22 / 3.3.3 VSS-based Application-Consistent Snapshots
For VSS-enabled applications like SQL Server, Exchange and SharePoint, the
VMware Plugin uses VSS to quiesce these applications before generating a
snapshot. Using VSS to quiesce the applications reduces the amount of
application crash recovery that must be performed after recovery of the virtual
machine Image-level Backup. This method is only supported on Windows 2003,
XP, Vista and 2008.

General Notes
- Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) Based Snapshots Not Supported in v2.x As VIX and VDDK cannot be used in the same client process, the Use Volume Shadow Copy Service option is not supported by VMware Plugin v2.x. This check box is deselected by default and must remain so. The backups will fail with the error 'Failed to quiesce the guest within VM' if you select the 'Use Volume Shadow Copy Service' check box on the Backup Preferences window.
