Mounting a backup copy
Mounting a backup copy to a file recovery manager instance provides read access to all the data that is located in the mounted backup copy.
Unmount any mounted backup when there is no further need to keep it mounted. The retention policy does not purge the mounted backups.
You can run the mounting process against any OpenStack instance. During this process the instance is restarted.
During the mounting process, the OpenStack instance is restarted.
Always mount backups to file recovery manager instances only.
Note:
Mirrored volumes are not mounted automatically on the file recovery manager instance. You must mount the mirrored volumes manually.
