Hello!
I've a problem in restoring full VM.
I Use Restore from virtual machine backup, using SAN then NBD.
In restore wizzard I choose original location, Restore BIOS UUID, Overwrite existing VM and remove backing information for DVD/CDROM. All prerecovery check pass successfully.
In vCenter console I can see that netbackup creates my VM and try to restore it, but fails
There is some information in log:

Don't use SAN to restore... use NBD. NBU might not have access to write to the Datastore (only read).

Could You please share VxMs log & hostd log on the ESX host?

By the sounds of it, a VMDK is being restored.
Are all storage LUNS presented to your backup host. If you are restoring by SAN the presented LUNs need to be online.
Also check if the service account your using in credentials for vCenters or ESX hosts have restore permissions in vCenter.

Logs in attach.
Thanks!

Could you please check whether all the Data stores are available online and have enough disk space to recover the data.
Please try to restore the data to different Data store by manual change Data store option in the VM ware recovery option.
Also check if the service account your using in credentials for vCenters or ESX hosts have restore permissions in vCenter

They are online and have enough free space
Please try to restore the data to different Data store by manual change Data store option in the VM ware recovery option.
When I restore to another datastore, it's ok!
Thanks! But I don't understand why it fails with original datastore with nbd transfer? What do I need to check?
Also check if the service account your using in credentials for vCenters or ESX hosts have restore permissions in vCenter
Account has full permissions

Can you please share hostd log after restoration completed successfuuly?

Done!

Sorry for delay,
Could you please request your VM team to perform health check on the original Data Store?

Don't use SAN to restore... use NBD. NBU might not have access to write to the Datastore (only read).
