backup of SQL Server on Windows 7 Computer

Thread needs solution

Hello
We have a warning for the backup f a Windows 7 machine with an istance of SQL server on board.
message error is:

--------------------
Codice errore: 1
Modulo: 560
LineInfo: c0d34cead0ce9e06
Campi:
Messaggio: Disattivazione delle applicazioni tramite i componenti VSS VMware non riuscita. I dati delle applicazioni all'interno del backup potrebbero essere incoerenti dato che lo snapshot è stato effettuato senza VSS. Errore interno: VSS Writer con id: Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer non trovato

it is in Italian but the question is:
is this configuration (SQL Server on Windows 7 machine on esx 4.1 host) supported? according vmware documentation it seems that for Windows 7 virtual machine only file-leve quescing is possible....

Hi Davide,

The Application-aware backup of VMs running Windows 7 is not supported due to VMware limitations: it doesn't allow application quiescing for this OS and therefore doesn't process VSS inside the VM. The only option for you here is to disable the application-aware backup option for this VM and continue backing it up. You will be still able to use File Recovery feature in order to recover the SQL databases + logs from such backups as a workaround.

Thank you.
