Notes and limitations
Note the following about VMware NAS hardware snapshot for virtual machines datastores:
Live browse from snapshot for XFS file system is not supported
Single File Restore (SFR) from snapshot for XFS filesystem is only supported when Index from Snapshot step is present in the SLP.
Agentless Single File Restore (ALVR) is not supported from the NetBackup web UI.
GRT and Individual VMDK restore is not supported from the NetBackup web UI.
While restoring the full VM from the incremental snapshot copy, the restore is performed only from the snapshot which is taken during the incremental backup.
In the case of restore from the incremental backup image copy, the restore is performed from all the incremental images and the full backup image.
To restore from the incremental backup images, all the primary copies must be either snapshot copies or the backup images copies.
VMware policy which protects Microsoft Exchange using hardware snapshot-based backups, in that policy only Windows must be specified as the backup host.
