Restore Point Action Description

Expose

• For Windows: Exposes the restore point to the specified drive or mount

path. If the component is stored on an SMB file share, the SMB expose

path is automatically generated by Replay Manager and cannot be

changed.

• For VMware: Exposes the restore point to the specified datacenter, host,

and name. Use the Unmanage Restore Point option to remove the

exposed restore point from Replay Manager control. Unmanaged Replays

must be managed from Storage Center.

Unexpose

• For Windows: Available on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and later

operating systems only. Unexposes a non‐writable exposed restore point.

• 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. The note is also displayed in the output from a copy operation.

Edit Notes Edit a note for a restore point. The note text is displayed on the Restore Point

Details tab. The note is also displayed in the output from a copy operation.

Unimport Available on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and later operating systems

only. Undoes the import of a transportable restore point that was previously

Restored or Exposed. 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 Replay(s)

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 flag 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 flag 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 file shares or VMware extensions components.
