Hi Ben
I already read the article but I dont get what is the process when this option is unchecked. Who does the process? and How is done the backup process?
When the option is unchecked, a crash consistent snapshot is taken instead of an quiesced snapshot.
This process is handled by VMware (VDDK / VDAP). Backup Exec sends a request to the VMware environment (vCenter / ESXi hosts) for a snaphot to be taken. The vCenter or ESXi host initiates the snapshot. If Quiescing is enabled, then VMware tools inside the VM is engaged to snapshot any VSS aware applications to let them know a backup is taking place. (Exchange / SQL / Sharepoint for example). When the option is unchecked, VMware tools inside the VM are not engaged for the snapshot process and nothing inside the VM is aware of the snapshot or backup.
