That's the impression I've been under; thanks for the responses.

        I've run into an unusual request regarding a restoration... 
        We've been requested to restore a backup exec image onto one of
our systems. 
        We are currently running 5.1 MP5. 
        The backup exec images are files that were shipped to us on
disk.  Is there any way to import that into Netbackup? 

        I've imported BE created tapes before, but never raw backup
files. 

The short answer is to upgrade NetBackup to the current release.

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/295433.htm
 


        In NetBackup 6.5, the importing of images written by Backup Exec
for Windows was supported with versions 7.0 through 9.1 via use of the
Backup Exec Tape Reader.
        
        Beginning with the NetBackup 6.5.1 release update, this support
was expanded to include regular filesystem (NTFS) images written by
Backup Exec versions 10.0, 10d and 11d as well.
        
        Beginning with the NetBackup 6.5.2 release update, ALL Backup
Exec 10/10d images can be imported using the Backup Exec Tape Reader.
        
        There are plans in future NetBackup release updates to support
images written by Backup Exec 12 as well as database images and VSS
(Volume Shadow Copy Service) snapshot images written by Backup Exec 11d;
however, as of the 6.5.2 release update these images cannot be imported
using the Backup Exec Tape Reader.
