I need a solution

Hi all, after reading all the blurb about backup exec 2012 I was under the impresion you could restore from an incremental backup without also having to select all previosue backups up to the last full backup?  At least that's what backup exec says!

Any way, my problem is when I do as the above message says for a vmware virtual machine restore the restore completes OK, but when I try and boot the vm it automaitcly boots to the system recovery parition and on further investigation there are hardly any files on the c: drive.  If I restore from the full backup, or full backup and all incrementals it works fine.  The backup job is a very simple non-agent, non-grt backup of a virtual machine straight to disk, weekly on Saturday, incrementals every other night.  We are trying to restore the enitre VM (same happes when overwirtting exisitng machine or to an alternative location).

So is the above message wrong for doing virtual machine restores or am I doing something worng?  How should I restore a virtual machine from an incremental backup?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Ed.
