Restore Point Action Description
For VMware: Unexposes a restore point that has not been removed from management.
Add Notes Add a note to a restore point. The note text is displayed on the Restore Point Details tab.
Edit Notes Edit a note for a restore point. The note text is displayed on the Restore Point Details tab.
Unimport Removes the import of a previously Restored or Exposed transportable restore point. The restore point
can then be restored or exposed to the same server or transported to another server.
Delete Restore Point Deletes the selected restore point and removes the corresponding Replays from the Storage Center.
NOTE: Because a backup set may have multiple volumes, there may be more than one
Replay for a given restore point.
Force Keep / Allow Auto-
Deletion
Toggles between Force Keep and Allow Auto-Deletion.
Force Keep: Sets the retention ag of a restore point to Never Expire. These restore points will not
be automatically deleted based on the backup set’s retention policy.
Allow Auto-Deletion: Removes the Force Keep ag from a Replay, allowing the Replay to be
automatically deleted based on the backup set’s retention policy.
Transport to Server For Windows extensions only: Transports a restore point to another server. Once a restore point is
transported, it is removed from the source server. On the target server, the transported restore point
is available under the Local Volumes extension, regardless of its source extension. Restore points can
be transferred only to a server compatible with the operating system of the source server.
NOTE: Transport to Server is not available for components stored on SMB le shares or
VMware extensions.

Transport-to-Server Scenarios
Transporting a restore point across dierent operating system versions is possible only when the le system features of the source server
are compatible with the target server.
When possible, Replay Manager Explorer prevents an administrator from transporting a restore point to an incompatible target server by
graying out incompatible servers in the Choose Target Server dialog box. However, if Replay Manager Explorer does not have operating
system information for a server, it may list a server as available when the server is not compatible with the source server. Replay Manager
Explorer can include incompatible target servers in the Choose Target Server dialog box.
If an administrator attempts to transport a restore point to an incompatible server (either using the Replay Manager Explorer or the Move-
RMRestorePoint cmdlet) the transport fails and a warning message is issued. The following sections dene the allowable scenarios for
Windows Server.
