According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP servers are transferred
through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and password can be intercepted by an
eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.
7.3 Mounting an image
Mounting volumes from a disk backup (image) lets you access the volumes as though they were
physical disks. Multiple volumes contained in the same backup can be mounted within a single
mount operation. The mount operation is available when the console is connected to a managed
machine running either Windows or Linux.
Mounting volumes in the read/write mode enables you to modify the backup content, that is, save,
move, create, delete files or folders, and run executables consisting of one file.
You can mount volumes if the disk backup is stored in a local folder (excepting removable media), Acronis
Secure Zone or on a network share.
Usage scenarios
Sharing: mounted images can be easily shared to networked users.
"Band aid" database recovery solution: mount up an image that contains an SQL database from
a recently failed machine. This will provide access to the database until the failed machine is
recovered.
Offline virus clean: if a machine is attacked, the administrator shuts it down, boots with bootable
media and creates an image. Then, the administrator mounts this image in read/write mode,
scans and cleans it with an antivirus program, and finally recovers the machine.
Error check: if recovery failed due to a disk error, mount the image in the read/write mode.
Then, check the mounted disk for errors with the chkdsk /r command.
To mount an image, perform the following steps.
