Quiesce guest file system – Vmware Snapshot feature
Had been wondering what this feature means while taking a snapshot of a VM. Few of the articles and explanation I found http://virtualkenneth.com/2010/02/27/using-lefthand-snapshot-techniques-within-a-vmware-environment/ Another good article on avoiding Vmware Backup Pitfalls.
