6.5 Mounting an image

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.
Limitation: Mounting of volume backups stored on Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node is not possible.
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 give 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.
