I just did something like this yesterday, it's a little tricky to do, but by
doing this you can get a file level restore from a vadp image level backup of
linux:
1) rename the original vm inside of vcenter console (this is just a "friendly"
name), you do not have to shut it down
2) Restore the image to a different datastore, the restore will not start the vm
3) Right click on the "restored" vm and choose "edit settings"
4) In the network adapters properties make sure the "connected" and "connect at
power on" are unchecked
5) start the vm
6)Rename the OS and re-ip it the restored vm
7)Check the options that were unchecked in step 4
8)Copy your files wherever you want
I do realize that instead of re-ip'ing it you can open it with vmware player or
vmware workstation, but this is the route we went.. :)
Hope this helps..

I hope I didn't miss the obvious, but I am as confused as this poster:
https://community.emc.com/message/558783#558783
How does one do a [Linux] FULLVM restore and bring up the restore as a
different machine while the original source is still intact and running?
Thanks,
Eugene
