APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
A VM (or any other object) might not be available for restore when starting the restore wizard. This happens if for any reason (e.g. a failure of the last backup) the latest version of an object (like a VM) is removed from the recovery catalog, then the older recovery points will not be available. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Versions Affected: IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.x Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: SPP, SPPlus, TS003915436
Local fix
Running a new backup of the object will correct the recovery catalog and all the restore points are available again. If a new backup is not possible, support will need to correct the catalog manually.
