Hi Joey,

This is a general VMware failure during quiesced snapshot creation stage: "An error occurred while quiescing the virtual machine. See the virtual machine's event log for details" . You will see the same error in the vSphere client if you try to manually create the snapshot (quiesced=on, memory=off options). It can be troubleshooted as described in http://kb.acronis.com/content/4559 article

Thank you.
