    This seems like a VMware requirement, please reach out to them and update this idea if new items come up.

    The team is reviewing this request and would like some additional information. We are currently reviewing information from this link: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1034165 and it appears that snapshots are not possible which our backups depend on. Please provide more details.
