That’s the good question.

VCS is a good product but as all backup ones you understand if it’s really good when you need to restore ;-)

At image level that’s ok. You rebuild all the guest at the moment when you’ve take the backup…as from a VM snap after all.

But at file level it’s quite boring.

You have to restore the file on a different path, of course, that connect your self to some share, open an RDP sessions and so on…then copy the file over…

Just curious, what is the opinion of VCB here?  I see that it is a good way to grab individual files within a vmdk, but what about restoring these files? 

Is there a better way to do this that anyone has found?

I think VCB requires that you are running Virtual Center so you will need to deploy that.
