Recover Replicated backup issue.

Hi There,

This is kind of a mixed question on VDP and Avamar.

The source machine is VDP 6.1.4 and is replicating its backup to an Avamar 7.3

Now, I deleted a restore point on the source VDP and then utilized the option "Recover replicated backups" on the source VDP.

Authenticated on to the destination Avamar, selected the replicated backup on destination server and performed the restore.

The vCenter task says recovery completed, however, when I refresh the restore tab in the VDP, it does not show the restored backup from the target Avamar.

From the logs:

2017-04-05 15:59:44 avtar Info <7925>: Restored 0 bytes from selection(s) with 0 bytes in 0 files

So it says restored 0 bytes. The entire restore process does not exceed one second either which itself says there is something going on.

What I would like to know is:

1. Is Avamar to VDP restore of replicated backup supported?

2. VDP 6.1.4 is Avamar 7.2 and target avamar is 7.3

3. What does:

Backup 13 is already on target server, but not for this account mean?

Thanks
