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.
