### Steps to reproduce

Create a job and file set:

```
Job {
    Name = "vm-DC3"
    JobDefs = "VmwareJob"
    FileSet = "vm-DC3_fileset"
}
FileSet {
  Name = "vm-DC3_fileset"

  Include {
    Options {
         Signature = XXH128
         Compression = LZ4
    }
    Plugin = "python"
             ":module_name=bareos-fd-vmware"
             ":dc=Darkstar:folder=/Windows"
             ":vmname=DC3"
             ":vcserver=vcenter.example.org"
             ":vcuser=bareos@vsphere.local"
             ":vcpass=…"
             ":vcthumbprint=…"
  }
}
```

Run a backup.

Restore the backup:

```
*restore client=bareos-fd fileset=vm-DC3_fileset pluginoptions=python:vmname=DC3_restore-test:restore_powerstate=off select current all done restorejob=RestoreFiles yes
```

Restore starts:
