SureBackup of VM with NLB fails with "IP addresses were not resolved" or "cannot detect IP address"

(Optional) To add a layer of verification as a substitute for disabling the ping test, you may consider creating a custom SureBackup Role for an ordinarily open port on the VM. This way, even with the ping test disabled, the custom role's script test will still test to see if a port is listening and validate that the machine booted.
