I know in earlier NetWorker versions, doing a restore from an advanced

seems that same limitation is present. Does anyone know a way around that
where files can be recovered from a DD Boost device while it is being
cloned?

Come on Stan, let's not be naive about that. EMC had years to fix this issue and the reason they didn't was that a too good AFTD (maybe even with dedup, like PureDisk) will compete with their VTLs. Now that they own Data Domain (and BRS is actually DD), they need to fix it, but I am pretty sure that you will not see any improvements for AFTD without DD (that is why DD boost is here).
