backing up FreeBSD server problems quiesced snapshot
HI,
We are backing up different Linux VMs. Almost all linux backups are finishing successfully. Just two FreeeBSD appliances are reporting:
A quiesced snapshot could not be created for the virtual machine machinename
Completed status: Failed
Final error: 0xe00095a7 - The operation failed because the vCenter or ESX server reported that the virtual machine's configuration is invalid.
Final error category: Resource Errors
For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-38311
Is there a possibility to tell backup exec not to try a quiesced snapshot? Any other ideas?
Thanks for any help.
Disabling the "vmt" kernel tools on the FreeBSD vm does solve the problem...
here the FreeBSD documentation:

The vmt driver is a kernel level implementation of VMware Tools. VMware Tools are intended to provide better support for operating systems running inside virtual machines.
