Mounting a recovery point using the Local Mount Utility
With the LMU, you can mount any recovery point associated with a connected Core machine, including protected
machines, replicated machines, and recovery points only machines.
Before mounting a recovery point, the local mount utility (LMU) must connect to the Core on which the recovery
point is stored. As described in the procedure Adding a Core machine to the Local Mount Utility , the number of
Cores that can be added to the LMU is unlimited; however, the application can connect to only one Core at a
time. For example, if you mount a recovery point of a machine protected by one Core and then mount a recovery
point of another machine protected by a different Core, the LMU automatically disconnects from the first Core to
establish a connection with the second Core.
1. From the Local Mount Utility user interface, expand the Core in the navigation tree to reveal the protected
machines.
2. From the navigation tree, select the machine from which you want to mount a recovery point.
The recovery points appear in the main frame.
3. Optionally, expand the recovery point you want to mount to reveal individual disk volumes or databases.
4. Right-click the recovery point you want to mount, and then select one of the following options:
Option Description
Mount This option lets you mount the recovery point as
read-only.
