I am not well versed with vm's but in my notes - when you make the disk drives of the new vm for the restore - disk provisioing has an option to pick Thick or Thin - does this not work for what you are doing?

If I restore a VM to a new virtrual machine,avamar make the new vm by itself through the vCenter。
