Long story short, I had to use a livecd to create software raid, then the lvm partitions on a new machine as I believe that the veeam recovery media still does not have mdadm or lvm2 available. I then installed the linux agent, I added the vbr server but when I list backups there is nothing there. The backup was imported into the repository so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. If I boot from the veeam recovery media and connect to the vbr server it sees the imported backup. So is this a limitation in the agent by any chance or am I doing something dumb
Also it does not seem quite clear to me if you can even do a volume level restore from the command line if not using the veeam recovery media.
For LiveCD: there should be a "Show all" hot-key button when you choose a backup, have you tried pressing it?

Yes, it is possible for volumes other than root. Use veeamconfig backup restore command, for details you can refer to veeamconfig man page: man veeamconfig or this User Guide page
