Restoring SQL server (VM)

Hi 

I have a SQL 2012 server (virtual machine) which I intend to backup using the agent for vmware API method. 

I believe once the options are enabled I can perform a GRT restore for SQL. My query is regarding full system recovery. If i restore the vmdk from the image level backup will it also recover the SQL components or do i have to perform a SQL restore once the VM is restored. 

Thanks
