A VBB full destructive restore is an out-of-place restore of a volume based backup. During this process, the last full backup of an entire volume is restored to a raw file system (rawfs) that is created on the file server.
Procedure

Run a volume based backup.
-
Create a raw file system (rawfs) on the file server.
