Title
Enabling Application Consistent Quiescing on the VMWare Plugin -
Description
To perform applications consistent backups of virtual machines running programs running active databases, quiescing is required for snapshotting these systems. Among the server applications that requires such approach include SQL Server, Active Directory, Exchange, Lotus Notes, among others. Not enabling quiescing could lead to unexpected behavior such as the application getting temporarily frozen when taking or removing the snapshot.
