parameters, described in the previous step.

6.6 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

6.7 Exporting archives and backups

The export operation creates a copy of an archive or a self-sufficient part copy of an archive in the
location you specify. The original archive remains untouched.

 a single archive - an exact archive copy will be created

a single backup - an archive consisting of a single full backup will be created. The export of an
incremental or a differential backup is performed using consolidation of the preceding backups
up to the nearest full backup

your choice of backups belonging to the same archive - the resulting archive will contain only the
specified backups. Consolidation is performed as required, so the resulting archive may contain
full, incremental and differential backups.
Usage scenarios
Export enables you to separate a specific backup from a chain of incremental backups for fast
recovery, writing onto removable or detachable media or other purposes.
Example. When backing up data to a remote location through an unstable or low-bandwidth network
connection (such as backing up through WAN using VPN access), you may want to save the initial full
backup to a detachable media. Then, send the media to the remote location. There the backup will
