If anyone has encountered this problem, please suggest a solution. Is there any way to get around it without restoring the bootloader?

Hello,
it's possible that you're hit by a bug that has been fixed with this PR:
https://github.com/bareos/bareos/pull/2152
This mean that backups which have been taken with the plugin before this fix, could be incomplete
and may not be recoverable, especially big VMs and high random read-write I/O workloads are more
probable to be affected by this.
The fix is included in the packages on https://download.bareos.org/current/
As a hotfix, the plugin can be downloaded separately from
https://github.com/bareos/bareos/blob/master/core/src/plugins/filed/python/vmware/bareos-fd-vmware.py
replace /usr/lib64/bareos/plugins/bareos-fd-vmware.py (or /usr/lib/bareos/plugins/bareos-fd-vmware.py)
by the file downloaded on the system running the plugin. To ensure consistent backups, it is recommended
to run new full level jobs with the fixed plugin, as backups taken with previous versions may have an
inconsonsistent state when restored.
Regards,
Stephan
