Netbackup 7.6.0.1 Virtual Machine restore shows snapshot instead of original vmdk

I need a solution

I've NB version 7.6.0.1 running in a vmware vsphere 5.1 environment, using vmware policy to backup the virtual machines. The policy is configured to do full backups and also incremental backups. During testing, the backups are executed successfully. But for restore testing, the contents of backup are shown as vmname-000002.vmdk instead of vmname.vmdk. I've verified that the VMs do not have any snapshots when they are backed up by NB. The restore operation completes using NBD but say partial successfull and I'm not able to boot the virtual machine as it fails by saying cannnot open the disk, and its looking for vmname-000001.vmdk. In the snapshot manager, it show a snapshot named NBU_RESTORE. I was able to boot the virtual machine by doing a revert to NBU_RESTORE snapshot.

Is there something misconfigured in backup or restore operation due to which I don't see vmname.vmdk but vmname-000002.vmdk? Or is it the correct operation? The 7.6 vmware admin guide restore screenshot shows vmname.vmdk as well.
