As far as I understand - SCV works with VMware Tools, which quiesce the filesystem and create VSS snapshot. Since MS SQL is VSS aware, the MSSQL backup with just SCV has to be app-consistent. SCV can't do TLog backups (obvious, as it's agentless), but there is no reason point-in-time DB state would be inconsistent, provide VSS Writer in the OS does it's job.
