I am not sure what you mean by "embedded backlog". The timeSync plug-in in vmtoolsd (residing in services/plugins/timeSync/) implements the synchronization algorithm. It basically queries host for current time and then slows down or speeds up guest clock to get back in sync with the host. You can enable and disable time synchronization via vmware-toolbox or vmware- toolbox-cmd. I hope this answered your question.
