VCB only gives you a
backup, to restore you’ll need to use your normal restore method.
There are two ways to
back up a VM with VCB, you can back up individual files (which will let you do
pseudo-differentials) or you can back up the VMDK files themselves. We tried
both, the second was more reliable but still seemed half baked. To restore a
file you can just mount the VMDK file on a Linux box (or a Windows box if it’s
NTFS/FAT) and copy it over.
VCB is a great idea, I just don’t think it’s quite ready yet.

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
