Restoring single VMDK

Is it possible to backup only single VMDK from a client which has more than one VMDK assign? If not is it possible to restore only one VMDK from that client which had more than one VMDK backed up?

    NetBackup 7.5 for VMware has 'Virtual disk selection' option which enable you to exclude boot disk or data disks, but there are no option to exclude or include specific disk.

    While VM recovery, NetBackup create virtual disks as they were in origial VM even if you exclude disks by 'Virtual disk selection' option, and there are no option to exclude virtual disk from recovery as well. Excluded disks will be recreated as empty disks.
