    Reason why browse/restore using BAR on VM fails is documented in NBU for VMware Admin Guide:

    Invalid client error when you restore files using NetBackup BAR interface installed on the virtual machine

     

    If the virtual machine was backed up by display name or UUID, and the display
    name is not the same as the host name, note: You cannot restore individual files
    by means of the Backup, Archive, and Restore (BAR) interface if the interface is
    installed on the virtual machine itself. The files can be restored if BAR is installed
    on the master server or media server. In this case, BAR must not be installed on
    the virtual machine that you want to restore to.
    To restore files, the Destination client for restores field in the BAR interface
    must have a valid host name or IP address.
