Hello

How does one do a single file restore with VCB and Networker 7.4+?

I'm doing this way thus far:
Restore the VMDKs to an area with enough disk space (all of its 2 gig chucks).  
Use the standalone converter to re-chunk it to a working object within the 
Vcenter/VMWARE enviroment.   This could take many hours depending on the 
instance.  Startup the restored machine while the real one is temp shutdown. 
copy off what you need and then put everything back to normal.

This doesn't seem the best way.

i can just have a client resource and client placed on the machine and back it 
up normally.  However, is there a better more efficient way so that i can just 
use VCB for single file AND quick and dirty BMR via restored VMDK image?

thanks.
