Disabling specific VSS writers with VMware Tools windows 2008 r2

Hello everyone, I have a problem with a windows 2008 and sql backup backup exec.


the  server performs daily backup with backup exec datarecover and then I  save database.

when datarecover make the snapshot of the vm I go to  delete a field in the master database in sql and accordingly symantec  backup fails.
I  found this kb vmware  (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalId=1031200),  I was risolve the problem on windows 2003 but although he made the same  operation on Windows 2008 This does not work.
I  created with the key inside the vmbackup.conf  on "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware Tools\" windows path and write in to file the vsswriter be disabled,  rebooted, did a snaphot with quiesce skill but always gives me a sql  vss.
How can I do to solve the problem?

thanks
hello
Mattia
