How to Attach and Detach Archives

Rapid Recovery 6 has the capability to attach archives for restores without the need to import the contents into an existing repository. The archive is mounted read-only and all restore functions are available for the recovery points stored within the archive. This feature is only available for archives created with Rapid Recovery 6 and works with archives stored in the cloud, locally, or on network storage.
