VM Memory Data
1. If selected, snapshots will be taken for the VM along with its memory data. 2. Snapshotting VM memory will cause VM suspension. The business services will be interrupted and automatically recovered later. You are advised to select this option during off-peak hours.
Quiesce Guest File System:
1. You can enable this option to quiesce the guest file system before taking snapshots, to ensure the data snapshotted is consistent with the file system data.
2. Quiescing guest file system when taking snapshots may affect I/O write, depending on the actual business load.
3. The guest file system may fail to be quiesced due to high disk IO. It is recommended to enable this feature when the disk IO usage is low.
