    You cannot restore a single file into the root of a volume - your choices are

    1) Restore the whole volume containing the LUN (might not be that useful)
    2) Create a Qtree on a folder and restore the LUN into that Qtree - note this is assuming that your LUN was oriiginally on the root of the volume and not in a qtree folder already - if it was in a qtree folder already you will have to make sure you have the latest hotfixes installed, then modify the registry, then create your qtree subfolder to restore to, the do a redirected restore (as per http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/316576 )

Thanks for the help tevia-boy. 

Have you ever used NetApp products? If so, have you ever backed up the LUN itself and performed a restore using Backup Exec?  I know you mentioned the downfalls of doing this, but I was wondering if you had ever done it?

Thanks.
