    hi, Daryl

    There is no related info in NBU documents.

    There is nothing NBU could do here, it depends on whether VMware can support.

    I found a link(VMFS block size) in VMware community for your reference, but it's not what exactly you want.

    https://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-11920

    Thanks

Daryl,

good question which i would also like to know the answer..

i would perfer to test it and see how it works... also we can check with VMware experts if the restore works for Different version and and block size.

if it works when vmware do it from their local backup... mostly it do also work from netbackup.. worth testing...
