What sort of device is the disk based backup using i.e. if it is a disk array emulating a library (as a VTL or similar) then it will stage the restores.
Also a word of caution (about your environment, not your problem) - if Backup Exec is installed inside a VM then we do not support writting to physical tape via any kind of pass-though operation. While some customers might find that this type of configuration appears to work for them, we are aware of lots of issues with this type of configuration and as such if you are using such a setup then it is at your own risk and we can only offer resoable efforts based on our definition of alternative configurations should you have issues.

Hi Colin,
Thanks for your response. Also I appreciate your note on running Backup Exec in a VM, but we are actually running it on a physical server just used for running Backup Exec and connecting to our tape library.The backup to disk side of things is using a Synology RS815+ and is connected to the Backup Server via iSCSI target.
So should I be able to recover individual files? It seems really long-winded to have to restore a stage the entire VM for one file.

OK so in the job logs for the disk backups, does it list the media as starting with B2D or IMG?

The media starts with B2D
