 ## Mount a backup
 
-You can mount a traditional datastore from a backup if you want to access files in the backup. You can either mount the backup to the same ESXi host where the backup was created or to an alternate ESXi host that has the same type of VM and host configurations. You can mount a datastore multiple times on a host.

 ## Unmount a backup
 
 You can unmount a backup when you no longer need to access the files in the datastore.
 
-If a backup is listed as mounted in the VMware vSphere client GUI, but it's not listed in the unmount backup screen, you need to use the REST API endpoint `/backup/{backup-Id}/cleanup` to clean up the out-of-bound datastores. After cleanup, try the unmount procedure again.

+You can attach one or more VMDKs from a backup to: the parent VM, an alternate VM on the same ESXi host, or an alternate VM on an alternate ESXi host managed by the same vCenter. 
 
 You have the following attach options:
 * You can attach virtual disks from a primary or an Azure NetApp Files backup.
 * You can attach virtual disks to the parent VM (the same VM that the virtual disk was originally associated with) or to an alternate VM on the same ESXi host.
 
 ### Considerations for attaching VMDKs

-* You cannot manually attach a virtual disk that was attached or mounted as part of a guest file restore operation.
