I use VCB to backup my virtual machines to an external drive. When I try to import a backup of a virtual machine to a host I get an error "Unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine." I'm looking for some help on how I can import a backup of a virtual machine back to the host. Thanks.
Maybe you are using VMware Converter 4.3? Try with the 4.0.1 version.

please provide some details - vmx-file for example ...
sounds like rewriting a parameter maybe enough ... like change from Windows 7 to Vista

I downloaded vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1 and was able to restore VCB images.
I also found VMWare KB Article 1026944. According to the article VCB restore capability is no longer available. I'm using vSphere 4.1, vCenter 4.1 and Converter 4.2.
Thanks for your help.
Good to know you could resolve it. I had the same problem.... continuum does not need anymore, but I would be glad if you award me some points
