SOLVED: vmProtect 7 Restore of VM from Online Storage - VMware_VDDK: error

Thread needs solution

Running vmProtect 7 Build 5155 with a trial license.

Virtual appliance installed on ESXi 4.1.0, 348481.

Trial license of vmProtect 7 online backup.

Have successfully backed up one VM (virtual disk 8GB - Thick).

Have then attempted to restore VM from online storage to same location and different location (ie VM rename) and I receive the following error messages with both attempts.

Any ideas/help ?

Just an update on this issue just in case it helps others.

The TCP connection to port 902 to the ESXi management address was blocked by our firewalls. Once this was permitted my restore completed without errors.
