Disable guest aplication interaction during Host level backup

Hi,

I have a 3 nodes Hyper-V Cluster, the hosts are Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter.

Some of my guests are Windows Server 2008 R2 with Exchange 2010.

When i backup the Exchange VMs the guest is aware of the backup and it flush the transaction logs.

I want to disable this feature. Every solution I found refers to this KB:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975354

but this KB refers to Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V host, I'm not sure that it applies also to Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V hosts.

Is there somebody that tried on Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V host? Does it still apply?
