The restore may fail if the virtual disk is thick-provisioned. In the configuration shown, the Direct storage access mode is selected. This mode can specifically cater to the requirements of data retrieval for both thin-provisioned and thick-provisioned disks. The failure in the restore is likely due to the virtual disk being thick-provisioned, which can present compatibility issues in certain configurations with the Direct storage access transport zone.
