Restore from FlashBackup fails with error 2817 – Netbackup – transport mode



Another reason the restore from FlashBackup fails with error 2817 is wrong settings in the “Transport modes” section (second screen of the restore wizard).  Default settings are #1 and #2 – “san: Use san to move virtual disk data” and “nbdssl: Encrypt the virtual disk data for over-the-network transfers”.  In my environment the setting that works is #4: “nbd: Do not encrypt the virtual disk data for the over-the network trans..” (while having other 2 unchecked).
