Individual File/Folder Restores Using VCB
The Issue:
I'm attempting to do aVMware file/folder restore of some backups that I had performed. I'm attempting to do a 2 stage restore, where I restore the data to a server with the netbackup client installed on it and then copy the files over to the appropriate vm.

Our setup.
Master Server
OS: win 2003 64bit
Netbackup VMware Proxy:
OS: Win 2003
The policy was configured as: Flashbackup-Windows
I used option 0 and option 2 for different backups.
What I've tried
I've tried restoring files to the Netbackup proxy server and that failed. I tried restoring to another random system with a netbackup client and that, too, failed.
I checked to make sure the mount point is correct and it shows up like so: E:\mnt
Any help is appreciated.

The job failed with status 800:
NBJM returned an extended error status: resource request failed (800)
and
NBU status: 800, EMM status: Job type is invalid
Have a look at this TechNote: seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/314596.htm
What is your NetBackup version? According to this TechNote the problem is fixed in 6.5.4.
Supporting Storage Foundation and VCS on Unix and Windows as well as NetBackup on Unix and Windows.

Administrator rights perhaps
What credentials is the Netbackup client using for the restore?.
In the back of my mind I remember something about you needing to have the client running as the local Administrator account and NOT run as local System for a redirected VM restore to work.
Might be a red-herring as Error 800 normally means totally different issues.

Did you use a trailing slash
Did you use a trailing slash "/" in the specification of the staging area in the snapshot settings of the original backup policy?

If your using 6.5.4 you
If your using 6.5.4 you should use option 3 which is a FullVM and file for incremental and backs up all the info "VMDK and FILE" in one pass of the VMDK.
The machine you restore to must have the Netbackup Client on.
It Seems Some problem on your Tape Drive !
Check your Tape Drive !

Hi Alexander You've been VERY
Hi Alexander
You've been VERY quiet since you submitted your post. From your post it is clear that you are using Advanced Disk.
I believe that TechNote seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/314596.htm is therefore very relevant:
BUG REPORT: Restores of FlashBackup images written to an AdvancedDisk, SharedDisk, PureDisk or OpenStorage disk pool fail with status code 252 and status code 800 reported.
Supporting Storage Foundation and VCS on Unix and Windows as well as NetBackup on Unix and Windows.
