Expose a Restore Point (Windows Extensions Only)
Exposing a restore point allows it to be mapped to a local drive or mount point and provides the option of making the volume
writable.

2. In the Backup Extensions area of the navigation pane, select a data source.
3. Select a restore point.
4. In the Restore Points area of the action pane, click Expose.
The Expose dialog box opens.
5. (Optional) To make exposed volumes writable, select Make exposed volumes writable. After an exposed backup set is
writable, it is no longer managed by Replay Manager. That is, the restore point is no longer included in the list of available
restore points.
6. Perform the following for each restore point to be exposed:
a. Click the cell in the Expose Path column next to the restore point to be exposed.
b. Assign a drive letter or specify an NTFS mount point relative to the server (for example, C:\MountPoint\Volume).
Click Create and Verify to create the folder or click Verify Path to verify an existing mount point.
c. Click Submit.
7. Click Expose.
NOTE: A partial expose is not supported. You must specify Expose Path to all components in the backup set.

● Datacenter: Select the datacenter in which to expose the component.

6. (Optional) To remove the exposed restore point from the management of Replay Manager, select Unmanage Restore
Point. A restore point that has been removed from the management of Replay Manager must be managed by the Storage
Center.
If you use vCenter to add an exposed/unmanaged VM to the Inventory, the restored VM includes both the original VM
backup and a temporary snapshot of the VM. Use vCenter Snapshot Manager to either delete the temporary snapshot or
use the temporary snapshot to revert the restored VM.
