NetBackup™ for VMware Administrator's Guide

The restore fails when you restore individual files to a virtual machine that has NetBackup client software

When you restore individual files to a virtual machine that has a NetBackup client, make sure that a firewall does not interfere with the restore. If a firewall stops the restore, turn off the firewall and retry the restore.
