Issue

When running backups SCV backups of Linux VMs, these are VM consistent backups as described in "SCV - What "Quiescing Applications" and "Unquiescing Applications" do and how it relates to data I/O"
Unlike with Windows and VSS support in vmware tools for Windows, without extra work, applications inside the VM are not quiesced at the time.
