Linking virtual machine disk files
The procedure for linking virtual machine disk files is described using the following
example:

Datastore
Suppose you backed up the virtual machine disk scsi1:2 in the following Snapshot
backup sessions:
1. Full (2008/09/10–1)
2. Incr (2008/09/10–2)
3. Differential (2008/09/10–3)
4. Incr (2008/09/10–4)
When you restore the virtual machine disk scsi1:2 from the session 2008/09/10–4,
Data Protector automatically restores the complete restore chain:
1. 2008/09/10–1 (full backup)
2. 2008/09/10–3 (differential backup)
3. 2008/09/10–4 (incremental backup)
After the restore, you need to manually update the content of scsi1:2 metadata
files by correcting the extent file names and metadata parent file names:
