Hi Steve,

This is APAR IT00973:

   IT00973: TEMPORARY XML FILES NOT DELETED AFTER 'BACKUP VM'

The fix is not yet available...

Until the fix is available, it is safe to delete these
<vmname>-vss_manifestsxx.zip_unzip directories and their
contents after the backup is completed.


Thank you,

Del
