Caveat of Disabling Virtual Machine Quiesce

Hi Rsamore,

I do agree with your concerns however its not recommended to disable this parameter

please verify the below link and notes...

If this option is disabled, the snapshot is created without quiescing I/O on the virtual machine. In this case, you must perform your own checks for data consistency in the backup data.

Caution: Symantec does not recommend that you disable quiesce.

Thank you for the response Sri.  I found articles stating the same thing but the articles were all 2 years old or older.  I was wondering if anything had changed with 7.6.

Disabling the option and the backup is not consistent anymore. Data may be damaged and the backup is worthless.

Thank you both for the great news :)  Back to client based backups.

ah...by the time I ve edited u ve marked the solution :)
