So it's not supported to do VMware consistency snapshots on VC server when it's running as a VM on the same server as SMVI?
It doesn't seem too practical since this way I need to select specific VMs on the Entities-tab of the job properties (to be able to untick the consistency snapshot for the VC server only) and remember to go and add all new VMs I might create along the way (whereas seleting complete datastores would do the trick for me).
--EDIT: After checking it out, the consistency snapshotting is a per-job option, so I'd need a job of its own to backup the VC. This doesn't alleviate the problem of having the VC on the same datastore as other VMs I'd like to back up with the VMware option enabled.
Long story short, is it really so that there is no way to do VMware consistency snapshots in this case?
Thanks,
