Expose a Restore Point (VMware Extensions Only)
Exposing a restore point for VMware involves selecting the datacenter, host, and providing a name for the exposed component.
1 In the Server Connections area of the navigation pane, connect to a server or host.
2 In the Backup Extensions area of the navigation pane, select a data source.
3 Select a restore point.
You can make exposed VMware restore points unmanaged to attach virtual machines or use as raw device mappings.
4 In the Restore Points area of the action pane, click Expose.
The Expose Restore Point Volumes dialog box opens.
5 For each component:
• Datacenter: Select the datacenter in which to expose the component.
• Host: Select the host or cluster on which to expose the component.
• Exposed Name: Enter a name for the exposed 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.
7 Click Expose.
NOTE
: A partial expose is not supported. You must specify Expose Path to all components in the backup set.
Expose a Restore Point Stored on an SMB File Share
Use the Expose Restore Point Volumes dialog box to expose a restore point on an SMB le share.

This path is automatically generated by Replay Manager and cannot be changed.
5 (Optional) To make the exposed restore point writable, select Make exposed volumes writable. Once an exposed restore point 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.
NOTE
: Volumes must be writable to attach SQL Server databases from exposed volumes.
