After you restore a disk, the Enterprise Workloads agent creates a folder with the format Phoenix-${restore_job_id} and downloads the disk and configuration file in the folder. If the virtual machine checkpoints produce differential or delta disks, Druva merges those delta disks with the disk that the agent downloads after the restore.
