To get the most out of your guest VMs and backup and restore them using VMware Consolidated Backup in the most reliable way you should install VMware Tools.

As well as providing better mouse & video drivers it provides an API to the host providing IP, clock information and installs VM startup, VM shutdown, VM freeze & VM thaw scripts /usr/sbin/pre-freeze-script and /usr/bin/post-thaw-script.

These scripts are required to quicese the guest services so a reliable quiescent redo / snapshot can be made by VCB.
