You can unmount a backup when you no longer need to access the files in the datastore.

Steps

  1. In the VMware vSphere client, navigate to menu icon > Inventory > Storage.

  2. In the left navigator pane, right-click a datastore, then select BlueXP backup and recovery for VMs in the drop-down list, and then select Unmount in the secondary drop-down list.

    Note Make sure that you select the correct datastore to unmount. Otherwise, you might cause an impact on production work.

  3. In the Unmount Backup dialog box, select a datastore, select the Unmount the datastore checkbox, and click Unmount.

  4. Optional: To verify that the datastore is unmounted, in the VMware vSphere client toolbar, click BlueXP backup and recovery for VMs.

    The datastore you unmounted is displayed in the Recent Job Activities tile of the dashboard.
