Hi all,
Do I need to download NetBackup Client Software on my Windows and Linux VMs if I want to do file-level restores on those VMs? My Master Server is operating on Linux RHEL 8 on NetBackup 8.3, and I'm using VMware vSphere 7.0 to run the VMs.
I noticed that full VM restores work, but when I try doing a file-level restore to my VM, I get an error about not being able to connect to the client and a policy restore error (2820).

Hello
Simplest way is (imho) to install NBU client software in VM. There are some options to do clientless restores...
More on these here:

Do you meet the prerequisites of an agentless restore for a VM?
How agentless VMware restore works?
I still have clients installed on our VMs. VxUpdate has improved quite a lot to make it easy to upgrade clients too. The agentless restore more or less does the installation of client during the process and then cleans up whatever it did to do the restore after restoring the files.
