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.
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.
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.
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.

3. Select a restore point.
You can make exposed VMware restore points unmanaged to attach virtual machines or use as raw device mappings.

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.
