About the VMware restore session

After files have been restored, the session remains until you tear it down. Because system resources are used to maintain the session, it is important to tear it down to ensure optimal performance.

To view or tear down VMware restore images

1

Select the vCenter, stand-alone ESX server, or navigation group in the Navigation pane.

2

Select Settings > System Monitoring > Restore Disk images.

3

Select Restore Images. A list of restore images displays.

4

Click Refresh to ensure that the list is current.

5

If desired, tear down a restore image.

•

For iSCSI restores, verify that the machine you restored to is no longer connected to the mounted iSCSI target.

Warning!      Proceeding with the tear-down while the restore target is still connected causes undesired results and errors on the target machine.
