VCB with Windows 2008 R2

Recently, I got a question about backing up VM with Windows 2008 R2 as guest.  They mention to me why FULLVM works but File level fails.  Run some test and find out it is caused by the reserve partition configured at the beginning of the 1st Virtual HDD.  Try to assign a drive letter and think it will work.  Nope!  The error indicates it can't find Windows System folder and registry.  As of today, ESX 4.0 U1 release notes indicate it is not supported.

Later release notes from VCB removes support of Windows 2008 R2 due to Converter 4.0.1 does not support Windows 2008 R2
