Re: backup products like VEEAM will not help this
To be a bit more precice. Veeam has a consistent snapshot by working directly with the OS and the consistency frameworks like VSS to bring everything in a consistent state. Then Veeam triggers a standard snapshot without quiescense (it is already consistent).
Pre and Post script engine from Veeam do not leverage VMware Tools quiescense neither.
