VDP File-Level Restore with Server 2012

When I run a backup on a VM running Server 2012, and then attempt to browse that image at the file level using the vSphere Data Protection Restore Client, I can not do so. I can successfully mount, and can see the image, but when I try to expand down to the file level I can not do so. When I mount images running Server 2008 R2 however, I can browse at the file level with no problem. I was wondering if this is an issue of compatibility between the Data Protection Restore Client and Server 2012? Also, as a quick addition, I can successfully restore a VM running server 2012 using the full image, so the backups do run successfully on the Server 2012 VM. It would just be nice to be able to browse and restore at the file level. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

This is probably a limitation around the file systems VDP currently supports for FLR. Please see page 74 of the VDP Admin guide:
