vCenter don't ask what I did when copied VM

Hello, i did a small DR tests , below my actions:

1 I stopped 5 VMs in my vCenter (these 5 VMs are on DataStore1). 

2. I copied backups of these 5 VMs to other datastore (Datastore2) than originals VMs.

3 I registered these 5 VMs in vCenter

4. And i started then my 5 copied  VMs  , and magic , system didn’t ask me for nothing , just stared VMs

Why vcenter didn’t ask if they are copied or moved ?????

For example i compared MAC of the original powered off VM and copied running VM and was different mac - so I assume that system decided "I copied".  - but why ??. I want to use I moved 

This is only for DR test, when I check that copied VM from backup works correctly I will delete them, and run again original VMs 

 

 

Thanks
