You have to duplicate the image to disk with bpduplicate

Hi Lu

    I had duplicated the image from tape to disk with the help of NBU GUI (catlog).

Just for my information, which error code did you get when trying to browse from the tapes ?

I can't go into all the detail, but I will say that granular/single file recovery is not exactly the same for Exchange versus  what NetBackup offers for virtual machines.  No loss of features, rather what we offer for VMs is a bit more flexible.  For example with Exchange, your backup must go to disk first (for GTR). By contrast, with VMs (Hyper-V & VMware), you can right to tape and still get GRT.

You can view a  live or recorded webex demo of the latest NBU 7 VM stuff from www.netbackupdemo.com.  For recorded events click on the  link in the upper right "View Event Recordings).

I'll follow-up with some other technical whitepapers shortly.
