Here you can see when you can use it: VSS Quiescing Support with vSphere Replication (2041909) | VMware KB

[Bab]

so thanks

i read that KB but realy could not understand clearly can you say an example now what does means Quiescing in application and Quiescing file-system level ?

When talking quiesce snapshot the Virtual machine file system is quiesced , so you will have a crash consistent backup during the receovery.

one reason I can think off is since the quiesce snapshot takes time of there is lot of iops so there will be a rpo of 15 min than a regular snapshot which is faster as it does not do a quiesce .

hope this helps.

[Bab]

is that your means when check quiesced box it will get snapshot ???

if yes i check this box but did not get snapshot 

realy confused
