Restore Data with VSS Consistency

If data is required to be restored with VSS consistency, take the following steps for each virtual machine being recovered:

1. Register the virtual machine in inventory.
2. From VMware, Revert to Snapshot.
3. From VMware, Delete Snapshot.

   Although the Expose action requires some manual steps, it is the fastest way to recover data at both the file and image levels while maintaining storage efficiency and while preserving the data progression history. Experienced users of vSphere and Dell storage should use the Expose action whenever possible to ensure the fastest recovery and most efficient use of raw storage.
