How the Agent Names Mount Points

CA ARCserve Backup uses a different naming convention for mount points for each type of VM backup.

For VCB Framework backups, CA ARCserve Backup uses the following naming convention:

CA ARCserve Backup creates a mount point directory (snapshot) on the backup proxy system when it executes a VCB backup. CA ARCserve Backup names the snapshot using the convention that follows:
```
_VCB-BACKUP_
```
After the backup is complete, CA ARCserve Backup deletes the VM snapshot from the ESX Server system. If the backup does not complete successfully, the snapshot remains on the backup proxy system until the next backup job starts and deletes the snapshot. Subsequent backups will fail when CA ARCserve Backup cannot delete the snapshot from the backup proxy system.

For VDDK backups, CA ARCserve Backup uses the following naming convention:

CA ARCserve Backup creates a mount point directory (snapshot) on the backup proxy system when it executes a VDDK backup. CA ARCserve Backup names the snapshot using the convention that follows:
```
_ARCServe_Backup__ J<JobID>_S<SessionID>_date_time
```
After the backup is complete, CA ARCserve Backup deletes the snapshot from the backup proxy system. If the backup does not complete successfully, the snapshot remains on the backup proxy system until you delete it from the ESX Server system. Subsequent backups are not affected by snapshots that remain on the backup proxy system.
