GRT Restore from HP StoreOnce Catalyst Store - Backup Exec 2012

Hello,

we are using Backup Exec 2012 with a HP StoreOnce (VSA) Catalyst Store as backup target. We are backing up virtual machines (VMWare) using the GRT option.

When we try to restore a single file, Backup Exec starts staging the entire VM instead of restoring the file directly like it does when restoring from a Backup2Disk folder. It also starts staging when we try to restore an Exchange item from a remote agent backup.

It seems that the Catalyst Store has the same behavior like a tape drive.

Is this a normal behavior?

Regards
