Hi Colette. When restoring a VM from a vStorage API incremental backup, NetBackup automatically recombines all incrementals and the full. There is no need to manually restore any incremental backups to recreate the VM.

We use the vstorage api's. I was under the impression that it was possible to restore the VM from a cumulative backup using BLIB and Change tracking. Would like to hear from you if you have some experienc in this regard. I was advised by Symantec that the the only way to recover is to restore a full using nbu bar option restore typ "VM backup" and then subsequently restore from the cumulative using restore type "normal backup". Anyone doing full VM restores from cumulative using restore type VM backup? Many thanks.
