Restore of cloud VM backup images replicated with AIR fails Pre-recovery check
Restore of cloud VM backup images replicated to another NetBackup domain using Auto Image Replication (AIR) with a NetBackup version earlier than 10.0 fails during Pre-recovery check with the error exception: Illegal xml request string!.
AIR is supported for cloud VM backup images from NetBackup version 10.0 onwards. As this feature is new, AIR backup images of cloud virtual machines replicated to an earlier version of NetBackup domain such as 9.1 is not supported. The NetBackup domain primary server version should be 10.0 or higher. You might encounter the error if the primary server version of the NetBackup target domain is earlier than 10.0.
Workaround:
Make sure that the target NetBackup domain primary server version is 10.0 or higher.
