 # Configure Cloud Backup for Virtual Machines 
 
-This article explains the tasks that you can perform using Cloud Backup for Virtual Machines. You can mount and unmount datastores, attach and detach VMDKs, and so on.
+Learn how to mount and unmount datastores and attach and detach virtual machine disks (VMDKs) using Cloud Backup for Virtual Machines.
 
 ## 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.
 
 1.	In the left navigation of the vCenter web client page, select **Storage**.
 2.	Right-click a datastore then go to **Cloud Backup for Virtual Machines > Mount Backup**.
-3.	On the **Mount Datastore** page, select a backup and a backup location (primary or ANFbackup), and then click *Finish*.
+3.	On the **Mount Datastore** page, select a backup and a backup location (primary or Azure NetApp Files backup), then select **Finish**.
 4.	Optional: To verify that the datastore is mounted, perform the following:
-    1.	Click Menu in the toolbar, and then select Storage from the drop-down list.
+    1.	Select **Menu** in the toolbar, and then select Storage from the drop-down list.
     2.	The left navigator pane displays the datastore you mounted.
 
 ## 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 is not listed in the unmount backup screen, then you need to use the REST API /backup/{backup-Id}/cleanup to clean up the out-of-bound datastores and then try the unmount procedure again.
+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 clean up, try the unmount procedure again.
 
 1.	In the left navigation of the vCenter web client page, select **Storage**.
 2.	Right-click a datastore and then go to **Cloud Backup for Virtual Machines > Unmount**.
 
     >[!NOTE]

 ## Attach VMDKs to a VM 
+
 You can attach one or more VMDKs from a backup to the parent VM, or to an alternate VM on the same ESXi host, or to 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 a ANFbackup.
+* You can attach virtual disks from a primary or a 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
 
-* Attach and detach operations are not supported for Virtual Machine Templates.
+* Attach and detach operations aren't supported for Virtual Machine Templates.
 * You cannot manually attach a virtual disk that was attached or mounted as part of a guest file restore operation.
