Restore of a virtual machine with Standard policy type

Hi all,

I have a doubt.

Is it possible to restore a Virtual machine that is backed up with a "Standard" policy type?

This is a Redhat Linux vm. It has more than one disk (.vmdk).

In the backup selection I have "/" and "Cross mount points" is ticked.

Thank you

Intore

    What is the reason for backing up like this?
    Why not VMware policy?

    With a Standard policy, you are backing up this client as if it's a physical machine. 
    Recovery steps will therefore be the same as for a physical machine.
