Hi all,
I ran into the 2008R2 issue that failed backups unless I set the disc.EnableUUID flag to false. I understood that that would give me crash consistent backups but not application consistent backups but if I used a freeze script in a backupscripts.d folder inside of the vmware tools folder it would be invoked and I'd have application consistent backups. So I wrote u a script calling diskshadow that runs sucesfully when I click it or when I take az Quiesced snapshot of the VM, but not a snap w/ memory or a snap w/out memory or quiescing.
But the script does not appear to get called by the backup. I included a run log. But more mysterious still, on one of several VMs where I set this up, I am suddenly (as of 2/22) logging IO freeze during backups, but not as a result of my script and with the enableUUID flag set to false.
Has the 2008R2 bug been patched, and what component do I need to upgrade on my other VMs to gain the function? Or was this an auto-magical solution?
