Sorry to appear slow (!) but would you describe the current config - with the two folders - as 'normal'?<br />

Thanks

I am guess that when you restored the VM it start to create a new VM of the same name but since a VM with that name already exist this is why vmware appended _01 at the end..<br />
<br />
This is just my opinion..

Hi<br />
<br />
We created a new virtual server using a backed up vm image and we have ended up with<br />
2 folders on the datastore VMdc01 and VMdc01_1.<br />
<br />
The virtual server seems to operate ok but was looking to merge the 2 folders.<br />
Was wondering would it be as straightforward as backing up the folders then copying and pasting contents of VMdc01_1 to the mai8n VMdc01v folder?

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
