Thanks George - I did a test on a different machine this morning and I can see
that it works and the cumulative and full are recombined.
I think for the machine that gave me a problem we faced the following issue as
detailed in this technote.

Hi Colette.
When restoring a VM from a vStorage API incremental backup, NetBackup
automatically recombines all incrementals and the full. There is no need to
manually restore any incremental backups to recreate the VM.

NBU 7.0.1
I am currently having an issue with a cumulative incremental for a vmware
backup. We use the vstorage api's. I was under the impression that it was
possible to restore the VM from a cumulative backup using BLIB and Change
tracking. Would like to hear from you if you have some experienc in this
regard. I was advised by Symantec that the the only way to recover is to
restore a full using nbu bar option restore typ "VM backup" and then
subsequently restore from the cumulative using restore type "normal backup".
Anyone doing full VM restores from cumulative using restore type VM backup?
Many thanks. Colette
