Their is a known bug in v7.1x with doing restores with Flashbackup policies. 
You may want to make sure that you can telnet to ports 443 and 902 from the 
master and media server to the V-center host and ESX box. During backup the 
master sends v-storage API to the v-center host which tells the ESX host to 
snap the VM and send it to the configured media server. When doing a restore 
the media server will send the data to the v-center hoist which passes it to 
the ESX host (bad design and SYMC knows about it)

Also to improve restore performance enter the ESX host into the credential 
section of the Admin Console. I had a 14GB VM that took 8 minutes to backup but 
took 6 hours to restore, once I entered the ESX credential into NBU the restore 
took 8 minutes.
