Chapter 9. Mounting Partition Images; Mounting An Image - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 9.1 - FOR LINUX User Manual

Chapter 9.
Acronis True Image Server for Linux can mount partition images, thus letting you access
them as though they were physical drives. This means that you will be able to use the virtual
disk in the same way as the real one: open, save, copy, move, create, delete files or folders.
If necessary, the image can be mounted in read-only mode.
Please keep in mind that, though both file archives and disk/partition images have a default ".tib"
extension, only partition images can be mounted. If you want to view file archive contents, use the
Restore Data Wizard (see
The current version of Acronis True Image Server for Linux can mount an image archive only if all its
volumes reside in the same directory. If your archive spans several CD-R/RW discs and you wish to
mount the image, you should copy all volumes to a hard disk drive or network drive.

the main program window.

3. Select the archive from the drives tree. If the archive is located in Acronis Secure Zone,
