Mounting an image

Mounting images as virtual drives lets you access them as though they were physical drives. Such ability means that:

• A new disk appears in your system.
• You can view the image contents in Windows Explorer and other file managers in read-only mode.

The operations described in this section are supported only for the FAT and NTFS file systems.

You cannot mount a disk backup, if it is stored on an FTP server.

How to mount an image

1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the image file that you want to mount, and then click Mount image.

   The Mount wizard opens.

2. Select the backup for mounting by its creation date/time. Thus, you can explore the data state at a certain moment.

   Note that you cannot mount an image of the entire disk except in the case when the disk consists of one partition.

   

3. [optional step] On the Drive letter step, select a letter to be assigned to the virtual disk from the Mount letter drop-down list. If you do not want to mount a partition, select Do not mount in the list or clear the partition's check box.
4. Click Proceed.
5. After the image is connected, the program will run Windows Explorer, showing its contents.
