NetBackup Windows 2008 Master and media server 7.1
Attempt to restore Full VM server via FlashBackiup-Windows process using VMDK file.
Restore starts, read tape, read backup image BUT then fail with FlashBackup-Windows policy restore error(2817) error.
Do I need to add somthing to BAR?
See attached file with output of restore job.
Disclaimer: I have very limited VMware restore experience.
I found a couple of TNs and a forum discussion that may help:

I did manage to restore a single file(or 2) from a VM backup - you need to use a recovery server with NBU client software installed onto it - then copy the file over to the final destination. I just used the Media server as the files were very small(becarefull of space usage). It worked.
But the FULL VM system(to original location/overwrite AND to new location/name) fails with mentioned and attached error.
There must be some trick.
What policy type was used for the backup? VMware or Flashbackup-Windows?
Policy for backup was Flashbackup-Windows.
Is this correct? for file AND full system restores on the VM?
Please remember this is NBU 7.1
As far as I can see there is no VMware option on the policies in NBU7.1.
Correct - VMware policy type is only an option as from NBU 7.5.
