Hi,
The problem is that the auto protect snapshot might happen while copying the file bundle that makes up the VM.
For a running VM, Vimalin actually does take a snapshot for being able to copy the files, then copies the files after which it will commit its own snapshot. If the autoprotect snapshot happens anywhere during the copying of the files, things get a bit different for the backup process.
Not saying it cannot be done, just had to exclude this particular scenario from being supported for this release.
