Robert, I'm not familiar with the options you mention below. However, assuming
you are using TDP for SQL (or something else to backup the SQL DB and LOG
data), I'd recommend specific INCLUDE and/or EXCLUDE statements to effectively
exclude the disks that have the DATA and LOGS on them. Then, for a restore, you
would perform a VM restore and then a database restore. The VM restore will
restore all disks in the VM including the EXCLUDED ones; the EXCLUDED disks
will be blank.
So, in your DSM.OPT file you'd have something like this:
INCLUDE.VMDISK "vm_name_goes_here" "Hard Disk 1"
INCLUDE.VMDISK "vm_name_goes_here" "Hard Disk 2"
EXCLUDE.VMDISK "vm_name_goes_here" "Hard Disk 3"
EXCLUDE.VMDISK "vm_name_goes_here" "Hard Disk 4"
You can find specific information on these parameters in the TSM Baclient 6.4
manual

The Windows version had the information starting on about page 371. (my PDF
reader said I was on page 395)
