Solution
1. The procedure for perform a VM Files restore can be found here: http://helpcenter.veeam.com/backup/70/vsphere/performing_vmfile_restore.html
Please keep in mind you must manually specify the host and folder on the datastore where the restored information will be placed.
2. After the VM Files restore completes, edit the VMX and remove any workingDir entries. Tips for editing VMX: kb.vmware.com/kb/1714
3. After correcting the VMX, add the VM to inventory. kb.vmware.com/kb/1006160
If you are unsure on how to proceed, please contact VMware support for VMX modifications.
