      Granular File Recovery (mount.v2i utility)

Name

mount.v2i — Mount a recovery point file for restoring files and folders.

SYNOPSIS

mount -t v2i [recovery point]... [mount point]... [options]...

DESCRIPTION

mount.v2i mounts a recovery point. It is usually invoked indirectly by the mount(8) command when using the -t v2i option. This command requires the FUSE driver and the FUSE shared library (libfuse.so.2).

mount -t v2i is a command line utility for mounting a recovery point file on a Linux computer so you can restore files and folders.

Using the mount -t v2i command line utility involves specifying the image file name, the location where the recovery point will be mounted, and any desired options. You must use the -o flag when specifying options.

Use umount command to unmount the.v2i file that is mounted using the mount -t v2i command.

OPTION

password=<password>

If the recovery point is assigned a password, use this option to supply the password when mounting or unmounting the file.

If a password is not supplied for the password-protected recovery point, it prompts you for the password.

EXAMPLES

The following are usage examples for mounting a recovery point using mount -t v2i and unmounting a recovery point using unmount.

mount -t v2i image.v2i /mnt/image

Mount a recovery point in the /mnt/image directory. Replace image.v2i with the name of the recovery point.

mount -t v2i image_nnn.iv2i /mnt/image

Mount an incremental recovery point in the /mnt/image directory. Replace image_nnn.iv2i with the name of the incremental recovery point. For example, if you want to mount the fifth incremental recovery point, replace image_nnn.iv2i with image_005.iv2i.

mount -t v2i image.v2i /mnt/image -o password=password

Mount a password-protected recovery point in the /mnt/image directory. Replace image.v2i with the name of the recovery point and password with the password.

umount /mnt/image

Unmount a recovery point in the /mnt/image directory.
