The Local Mount Utility (LMU) lets you work with an unlimited number of Core machines locally or remotely. If you install the LMU on an Rapid Recovery Core machine, that machine automatically appears in the LMU as the localhost. All additional remote Cores appear as their machine names or IP addresses, depending on the information you entered when you added them. With the LMU, you can add, edit, and remove Core machines.
