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.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Vstorage API and Cumulative Restores

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
