Mount point missing on a restored Windows virtual machine

This topic applies to NetBackup for VMware.

A Windows virtual machine may fail to write its mount point configuration to disk (the mount point configuration remains in RAM). In that case, the mount point information cannot be backed up. When the virtual machine is restored, the data from the mounted volume is restored, but the mount point is absent from the restored virtual machine.

Reassign the mount point on the restored virtual machine. To make sure the mount point is correctly configured, restart the virtual machine.
