Thanks Simon,

All the restores I have tried were from backups which were using the -z 
option. However, I have SELinux disabled, so this is not an issue.

(I am using the -z option mainly due to our occasional use of extended 
file permissions (ACL).)

The problem is that the restored VM won't boot at all in all of my tests.

Cheers,
Nick
