Resolution

1. When Restoring individual Virtual Machines, ensure the VM's are turned off before initiating the Restore.
2. If you are performing a full Volume Restore, and you don't need to restore Virtual Machines, de-select the running VM's from the backup set.
3. If you are performing a full Volume Restore, and you need to restore Virtual Machines, ensure the VM's are turned off before initiating the restore.
