Archive Selection - ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition User Manual

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.

Archive selection

Selecting the 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 centralized vault, expand the Centralized group and click the
vault.

If the archive is stored in a personal vault, expand the Personal group and click the vault.

If the archive is stored in a local folder on the machine, expand the Local folders group and
click the required folder.
If the archive is located on removable media, e.g. DVDs, first insert the last DVD and then insert the discs in
order starting from the first one when the program prompts.
 If the archive is stored on a network share, expand the Network folders group, then select
the required networked machine and then click the shared folder. If the network share
requires access credentials, the program will ask for them.
Note for Linux users: To specify a Common Internet File System (CIFS) network share which is mounted on a
mount point such as /mnt/share, select this mount point instead of the network share itself.
