    Caution: Do not attempt to manually create a directory.

    NOTE: Export to shared folders (for example, to \\data\share) is not permitted.

    VM name

    Enter a name for the virtual machine you want to export; for example, VM-0A1B2C3D4.

    The VM name that automatically appears by default is the name of the machine from which the recovery point originated. The name entered in this text box appears after export in the list of virtual machines in the Hyper-V Manager console.

    Amount of RAM

    Specify the amount of RAM for the exported virtual machine to use by selecting one of the following:
