Do yourself a favor and perform a test recovery of data no matter how you configure your backups. We currently do not use the "Optimized" setting in Avamar on deduplicated 2012 servers due to corrupt recoveries.

From the Avamar 7.1 Windows Server Guide, page 25:
File system backups of deduplicated and SIS volumes
Use the Windows File System plug-in to back up Windows deduplicated volumes on Windows Server 2012.
You can select whether to back up optimized files in either an optimized or unoptimized state by using the Perform a Windows Optimized Backup of a Windows Deduplicated volume checkbox in the Backup Command Line Options. If you
back up files in an optimized state, then you can restore the files in either an optimized or unoptimized state. You must select the entire Windows deduplicated volume for backup. However, you can restore individual folders and files from the volume backup.
You can only restore files from a Windows deduplicated volume to the original location or to another Windows Server 2012 computer with Windows deduplicated volumes. Use the Windows File System plug-in to back up SIS volumes on Windows Storage Server 2008 and Windows Storage Server 2008 R2. Similar to Windows deduplicated volumes, you must select the entire SIS volume for backup. However, you can restore individual folders and files from the volume backup.
So, yes, you can restore files from a deduplicated volume.
Let us know if that helps!
