Rapid Recovery 6.9 - User Guide

In Rapid Recovery, you can mount a recovery point from the Core Console to access stored data through a local file system.

NOTE: To mount a Linux recovery point with the local_mount utility, see Mounting a recovery point volume on a Linux machine.

NOTE: When mounting recovery points from data restored from a machine that has data deduplication enabled, you must also enable deduplication on the Core server.

From the Rapid Recovery Core Console, navigate to the machine that you want to mount to a local file system.

The Summary page appears for the selected protected machine.
From the navigation links at the top of the page, lick the Recovery Points menu.
The Recovery Points page appears for the selected machine.
Optionally, in the Recovery Points pane, from the list of recovery points, click the right arrow symbol to expand the recovery point detail, showing volumes included in the recovery point.
In the row for the recovery point that you want to mount, click the (More) drop-down menu and select Mount.
The Mount Wizard appears, displaying the Volumes page.
On the Volumes page, select each volume of the recovery point that you want to mount, and then click Next.
The Mount Options page of the wizard appears.

In theMount Options page, edit the settings for mounting a recovery point as described in the following table.

Table 80: Mount Options settings
Option	Description
Destination and other options Local folder	Choose from one of the following options: Mount to the next available drive letter. This option will provide an alphabetic designation (for example, F:\) for the volume you want to mount, using the next available letter. This option is only accessible if you selected a single volume in step 5. Mount to a drive letter. This option assigns the alphabetic designation you select (for example, Z:\) for the volume you want to mount. The letter must not already be in use. This option is only accessible if you selected a single volume in step 5. Mount to a folder. Specify the path used to access the mounted recovery point. For example, select `C:\ProgramData\AppRecovery\MountPoints\MountPoint1`.
Mount type	Specify the way to access data for the mounted recovery point: Read-only Read-only with previous writes Writable
Create a Windows share for this mount	Optionally, select this check box to specify if the mounted recovery point can be shared, and then set access rights to it, including the Share name and Allowed groups.

Click Finish to mount the recovery point.

NOTE: If you want to copy directories or files from a mounted recovery point to another Windows machine, you can use Windows Explorer to copy them with default permissions or original file access permissions. For details, see Restoring a directory or file using Windows Explorer or Restoring a directory or file and preserving permissions using Windows Explorer.

Optionally, while the task is in process, you can view its progress from the Running Tasks drop-down menu on the Core Console, or you can view detailed information on the Events page. For more information about monitoring Rapid Recovery events, see Viewing events using tasks, alerts, and journal pages.

Dismounting recovery points

Complete the steps in this procedure to dismount recovery points that are mounted on the Core.

NOTE: When dismounting a recovery point mounted remotely, the action is referred to as disconnecting.

In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, from the icon bar, click (More) and then select Mounts.
The Mounts page appears. There is a pane for Local Mounts (recovery points mounted from the Core) and another for Remote Mounts (recovery points mounted using the Local Mount Utility). In each pane, the respective mounted recovery points appears in a list.
To dismount local mounts, in the Local Mounts pane, do the following:
1. Select the local mount point or points you want to dismount.
  - To dismount all recovery points, click the check box in the title bar of the Local Mounts table. All mounts are selected.
  - To dismount one or more recovery points, click the check box in the first column of each row representing the mount point you want to disconnect.
2. Click Dismount.
  A confirmation dialog box appears.
3. Confirm that you want to dismount the selected recover points.
  The local recovery points dismount.
  
  NOTE: If toast alerts are enabled, you may see a message that the appropriate mount points are being dismounted.
To disconnect recovery points mounted remotely, in the Remote Mounts pane, do the following:
1. Select the remote mount point or points you want to disconnect.
  - To disconnect all recovery points, click the check box in the title bar of the Remote Mounts table to select all mount points.
  - To disconnect one or more recovery points, click the check box in the first column of each row representing the mount point you want to disconnect.
2. Click Disconnect.
  A confirmation dialog box appears.
3. Confirm that you want to disconnect the selected recover points.
  The local recovery points disconnected.
  
  NOTE: If toast alerts are enabled, you may see a message that the appropriate mount points are being dismounted.
Confirm that the previously mounted recovery points no longer appear in the Local Mounts or Remote Mounts list, as appropriate.

Working with Linux recovery points

Mounting a recovery point volume on a Linux machine

Using the local_mount utility in Rapid Recovery, you can remotely mount a volume from a recovery point as a local volume on a Linux machine.

NOTE: When performing this procedure, do not attempt to mount recovery points to the /tmp folder, which contains the rapidrecovery-vdisk files.

Create a new directory for mounting the recovery point (for example, you can use the mkdir command).
Verify the directory exists (for example, by using the ls command).
Run the Rapid Recovery local_mount utility as root, or as the super user, for example:
```
	sudo local_mount
```
At the Rapid Recovery mount prompt, enter the following command to list the protected machines.
```
	lm
```
When prompted, enter the IP address or hostname of your Rapid Recovery Core server.
Enter the logon credentials for the Core server, that is, the user name and password.

A list of the machines that are protected by the Rapid Recovery server displays. Each machine is identified by the following: line item number, host/IP address, and an ID number for the machine.

For example: 7d658e5f-fa08-4600-95f0-5f486bc1b6a4#de0896fd-571a-4cc5-aeed-264d2c3c72f4#f377e145-dd4d-3ac3-5b15-37ce8f4913ba
Enter the following command to list the recovery points that are available for a specified machine:
```
	lr <line_number_of_machine>
```
NOTE: You can also enter the machine ID number in this command instead of the line item number.

A list of the base and incremental recovery points for the machine appears. The list includes the line item number, date and timestamp, location of volume, size of recovery point, and an ID number for the volume, which includes a sequence number at the end to identify the recovery point.

For example, 7d658e5f-fa08-4600-95f0-5f486bc1b6a4#de0896fd-571a-4cc5-aeed-264d2c3c72f4#f377e145-dd4d-3ac3-5b15-37ce8f4913ba:2

Enter the following command to select and mount the specified recovery point at the specified mount point/path.

	m <volume_recovery_point_ID_number> <volume-letter> [flag] <path>

The flag in the command determines how to mount the recovery point. You can use one of the following options:

[r] - mount read-only (default). This flag lets you mount a recovery point but does not let you make changes to it.

[w] - mount writable. This flag lets you mount the recovery point and lets you make changes.

[v] - mount with previous writes. Mounting with the “v” flag lets you mount the recovery point and include any changes that were made during the previous writable mount but are not present in the recovery point.

[n] - do not mount nbd to <path>. A nbd (network block device) makes a socket connection between the Core and the protected machine when you perform a local mount. This flag lets you mount the recovery point without mounting the nbd, which is useful if you want to manually check the file system of the recovery point.

NOTE: You can also specify a line number in the command instead of the recovery point ID number to identify the recovery point. In that case, you would use the machine line number (from the lm output), followed by the recovery point line number and volume letter, followed by the path, such as, m <machine_line_number> <recovery_point_line_number> <volume_letter> <path>. For example, if the lm output lists three protected machines, and you enter the lr command for number 2 and you mount the twenty-third recovery point volume b to /tmp/mount_dir, then the command would be: m 2 23 b /tmp/mount_dir.

NOTE: If you are mounting a BTRFS volume from a compatible operating system (see the "Rapid Recovery release operating system installation and compatibility matrix" topic in the Rapid Recovery System Requirements Guide), then you must include the following parameter:

	mount -o nodatasum,device=/dev/xxx /dev/xxx /mnt/yyy

To verify that the mount was successful, enter the following command, which should list the attached remote volume:
```
	l
```
