Error Message

Completed status: Failed
Final error: 0xe0008488 - Access is denied.
Final error category: Security Errors

Restore- \\\System?State \\\System?State
V-79-57344-33928 - Access denied - unable to restore file \\?\C:\windows\system32\drivers\VirtFile.sys.

This behavior is by design.
Backup Exec 22.2 has implemented a new feature which denies access from any process that attempts to open the Virfile.sys driver. The restore failure happens due to this feature.
 

The restore failure for Virtfile.sys can be safely ignored when restoring a backup set that is created from Backup Exec 21 or later with Backup Exec 22.2.
The recovered OS will work with no issues.

Also, the Simplified Disaster Recovery (SDR) restore job does not fail because this feature has no impact during the SDR restore process.
