I have recently taken over a TSM environment, and was recently requested to do a full VM restore. I am using the TDP for VMware plugin and the restore has failed a couple of times so far. I went back and looked at the backup schedule and it looks like there was only 1 full backup taken about 5 months ago and just incremental taken since then. The VM in question is a thick provisioned VM with only 100GBs of space. The last time I tried the restore it failed after processing over 500GBs. I had assumed that this was running an incremental forever and in doing so only needs the last backup that was requested. Is this the case or does TDP have to process all of the backups beginning at the full from 5 months ago?
Thanks in advance for your help.
