Mounting backup volumes
You may want to mount a volume stored in a disk backup, for example, to view some files in it before
starting the recovery.
To mount a backup volume
1. Use the --list command to list the volumes which are stored in the backup. For example:
trueimagecmd --list --filename:smb://server/backups/linux_machine.tib
The output will contain lines similar to the following:
Num Idx Partition Flags Start Size Type
---- --- --------- ----- ----- --------- ------
Disk 1:
Table 0 Table
Disk 2:
Table 0 Table
...
Dynamic & GPT Volumes:
DYN1 4 my_volgroup-my_logvol 12533760 Ext2
You will need the volume's index, given in the Idx column, in the next step.
2. Use the --mount command, specifying the volume's index in the -i parameter. For example:
trueimagemnt --mount /mnt --filename smb://server/backups/linux_machine.tib -i
4
This command mounts the logical volume DYN1, whose index in the backup is 4, on the mount
point /mnt.
To unmount a backup volume
Use the --unmount command, specifying the volume's mount point as a parameter. For example:
trueimagemnt --unmount /mnt
6.10.6 Acronis PXE Server
Acronis PXE Server allows for booting machines to Acronis bootable components through the
network.
Network booting:
eliminates the need to have a technician onsite to install the bootable media into the system that
must be booted
during group operations, reduces the time required for booting multiple machines as compared
to using physical bootable media.
