TOO FUNNY vontexx! Doing a little advertising on the side are we :)...

But you are right! I know the product and your right. There is a difference between VSS aware "backup" and VSS aware restore. Veeam does this and esentialy maks the database as being restored and not just a file level restore. THis is why it will cause the VM to reboot a couple times. Its been a long time (months) since i looked into this with their product but if i recall thats how they achieve it. Since i use vRanger i just have a ntbackup that does system state before the vRanger kicks off and if i restore it I reboot in DS Restore mode and restore from system state and reboot.

Sorry i know i am posting months after original post but i don't sign in often. not as often as I'd like. Being a Principle Consultant means i barely have time to sleep.

Thanks Guys for all your input and sharing though.

P.S. HendersonD, in your backup you have option to Quiesce the VM or when you take snapshot look on bottom you have the check box.
