VM backup of Ubuntu Guest failing on VSS

[jeremyflint]

I am trying to run a backup of an ubuntu 8.10 guest VM using Veeam. When I enable VSS, the backup fails with the following error:

Creating snapshot Failed to perform Veeam VSS freeze: guest OS "ubuntuGuest" is not supported

I searched the forum, and saw a note about disabling "Enable VMware Tools quiesence", which I did. Still got the error.

Ideas?

You should disable Veeam VSS in the wizard, as VSS is only available on Microsoft Windows. Then, VMware quiescence will be used.

Thanks for this, Gostev.
