Hi Kenneth, are you talking about file-level restore?

I want to restore some vmdk files to another server. This server I cannot install veeam components on.

In case you're using VM File Restore option, you can only select servers added to the backup infrastructure. If you're using Virtual Disks Restore, then only vSphere datastores can be selected as target.

Do you know the reason for not being able to do this?

Veeam B&R components are required on the target server.

Well, its just a path for putting a file on it? Why would it need B&R on a NAS or some other disk to place the VHD/VMDK?

With this type of restore, data is transferred between Veeam data movers installed on the source (proxy) and target servers.
