Disk Mount

Performing an efficient recovery in the event of a disaster has always been a challenging task. This is because businesses prefer the recovery to be rapid and expect the restored data to occupy very less space as well. The significance of performing recovery is worthless, when it becomes time-consuming and consumes a huge chunk of space in your Disk.

BDRSuite’s Disk Mount feature allows you to instantly mount the backed up disk virtually on the disk management of the local machine that only takes seconds to get completed. You can then browse through the attached disk and access the backup data. Since these disks are virtually created on the backup server, they do not consume any additional disk space and also make the recovery faster.

Key Benefits

Disk Mount allows you to access your backup data instantly, without having to restore the entire virtual machine. This saves time and resources compared to traditional restore methods.

In the event of a disaster, you can quickly access and recover important data by mounting the backed up disk on the backup server machine.

Disk Mount also creates the backed up data into different virtual formats – IMG, VHD, VHDX, VMDK, VMX on the BDRSuite Virtual Drive. These files don’t occupy any space and are created instantly and virtually, which can be used for migrating your backed up machines to a different hypervisor.

How it works

  • Choose the backed up disk to be virtually mounted on the backup server. Note that you can only mount one disk during a single restore
  • Once the restore is initiated, the selected backed up disk will be mounted on the backup server machine’s Disk Management. You can now see new volumes(s) on the server. The backed up disks/volumes are now available locally. You can easily browse the files/folders required
  • When the backup is mounted, further incremental schedules will not be processed. Once the job is unmounted, the backups will continue to run as scheduled
