For snapshots, that all depends on what you want to do with the snapshot - if you want to ever revert to the snapshot (and boot from that state), then quiescing makes sense; but if snapshots is only an intermediate step as part of a larger sequence of operations and you will then remove the intermediate files via blockpull and/or blockcommit, then quiescing is not necessary.
Oh and one last question. Since qemu-ga does not support quiescing Windows domains, what do you suggest in that case. I know this is not a libvirt specific question but I shall appreciate any ideas. /Abbas
