Mounting volumes from a disk backup (image) lets you access the volumes as though they were physical disks. Multiple volumes contained in the same backup can be mounted within a single mount operation. The mount operation is available when the console is connected to a managed machine running either Windows or Linux.

Mounting volumes in the read/write mode enables you to modify the backup content, that is, save, move, create, delete files or folders, and run executables consisting of one file. In this mode, the software creates an incremental backup containing the changes you make to the backup content. Please be aware that none of the subsequent backups will contain these changes.

You can mount volumes if the disk backup is stored in a local folder (except optical disks), Acronis Secure Zone, or on a network share.

Usage scenarios



Sharing: mounted images can be easily shared to networked users.



"Band aid" database recovery solution: mount up an image that contains an SQL database from a recently failed machine. This will provide access to the database until the failed machine is recovered.



Offline virus clean: if a machine is attacked, the administrator shuts it down, boots with bootable media and creates an image. Then, the administrator mounts this image in read/write mode, scans and cleans it with an antivirus program, and finally recovers the machine.



Error check: if recovery failed due to a disk error, mount the image in the read/write mode. Then, check the mounted disk for errors with the chkdsk /r command.

To mount an image, perform the following steps.

Source

Archive (p. 159)

Specify the path to the archive location and select the archive containing disk backups.

Backup (p. 159) Select the backup.

Access credentials (p. 159)

[Optional] Provide credentials for the archive location.

Mount settings

Select volumes to mount and configure the mount settings for every volume: assign a letter or enter the mount point, choose the read/write or read only access mode.

When you complete all the required steps, click OK to mount the volumes.

8.3.1

Archive selection

To select an archive

1. Enter the full path to the location in the Path field, or select the desired folder in the folders tree:



If the archive is stored in a personal vault located in a local folder, Acronis Secure Zone, or on

a network share, expand the Personal group and click the required vault.



If the archive is stored in a local folder on the machine, expand the Local folders group and click the required folder.

Mounting is not available if the archive is stored on optical media such as CD, DVD, or Blu-ray Discs (BD).



If the archive is stored on a network share, expand the Network folders group, select the required networked machine, and then click the shared folder. If the network share requires access credentials, the program will ask for them.

2. In the table to the right of the tree, select the archive. The table displays the names of the archives contained in each vault/folder you select.

While you are reviewing the location content, archives can be added, deleted or modified by another user or by the program itself according to scheduled operations. Use the Refresh button to refresh the list of archives.

3. Click OK.

8.3.2

Backup selection

To select a backup:

1. Select one of the backups by its creation date/time.

2. To assist you with choosing the right backup, the bottom table displays the volumes contained in the selected backup.

To obtain information on a volume, right-click it and then click Information. 3. Click OK.

8.3.3

Access credentials

To specify credentials

1. Select one of the following:



Use the current user credentials

The program will access the location using the credentials of the current user.



Use the following credentials

The program will access the location using the credentials you specify. Use this option if the current user account does not have access permissions to the location. You might need to provide special credentials for a network share or a storage node vault.

Specify:



User name. When entering the name of an Active Directory user account, be sure to also specify the domain name (DOMAIN\Username or Username@domain).

2. Click OK.

According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP servers are transferred through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and password can be intercepted by an eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.

8.3.4

Volume selection

Select the volumes to mount and configure the mounting parameters for each of the selected volumes as follows:

1. Select the check box for each volume you need to mount. 2. Click on the selected volume to set its mounting parameters.



Access mode - choose the mode you want the volume to be mounted in:



Read only - enables exploring and opening files within the backup without committing any changes.



Read/write - with this mode, the program assumes that the backup content will be modified, and creates an incremental backup to capture the changes.



Assign letter (in Windows) - Acronis Backup will assign an unused letter to the mounted volume. If required, select another letter to assign from the drop-down list.



Mount point (in Linux) - specify the directory where you want the volume to be mounted. 3. If several volumes are selected for mounting, click on every volume to set its mounting

parameters, described in the previous step. 4. Click OK.

8.3.5

Managing mounted images

Once a volume is mounted, you can browse files and folders contained in the backup using a file manager and copy the desired files to any destination. Thus, if you need to take out only a few files and folders from a volume backup, you do not have to perform the recovery procedure.

Exploring images

Exploring mounted volumes lets you view and modify (if mounted in the read/write mode) the volume's content.

To explore a mounted volume select it in the table and click Explore. The default file manager window opens, allowing the user to examine the mounted volume contents.

Unmounting images

Maintaining the mounted volumes takes considerable system resources. It is recommended that you unmount the volumes after the necessary operations are completed. If not unmounted manually, a volume will remain mounted until the operating system restarts.

To unmount an image, select it in the table and click Unmount. To unmount all the mounted volumes, click Unmount all.
