VADP restore of thin/thick VM
Found interesting issue with NW (7.2.6.1 on Windows 2008 R2, backing VMware ESXi 5 build 768111):
have some VMWare machines, for which VADP backup fails to restore - see messages below:
Requesting 1 recover session(s) from server.

I suspect it can have something to do with fact there are mixed thin/thick disks in VM (tested after converted to thick only disks and worked fine).
But it is not strict rule, as I have some thin/thick machines, and backup/restore works fine with those.
So I'm confused. Anybody seen such thing yet?

There is a Knows issue NW127446, regarding thin disk and recover.
https://support.emc.com/docu36294_NetWorker-7.6-and-Service-Packs-Release-Notes.pdf
Page Number 91.
But this wont cause restore failures.
We might need to do more research on this.

This is even more complex actually - for some VMs restore fails even after conversion all disks thick mode. So there must be some other think which matters.
