This option is used to create snapshots of Recovery Sets that adhere to data format
standards used by the VMware Tools.

CAUTION:

While installing or upgrading the VMware tools, you must reboot VMware

on the system where it is running, otherwise the application consistent snapshots may not
be valid even though they are reported as completed successfully. This scenario may also

If new VMs are added to a datastore, you must update the policy to ensure the

VM application consistency.
