Name
mount.v2i — Mount a recovery point file for restoring files and folders.
SYNOPSIS
mount -t v2i [recovery point]... [mount point]... [options]...
DESCRIPTION
mount.v2i mounts a recovery point. It is usually invoked indirectly by the mount(8) command when using the
-t v2i option. This command requires the FUSE driver and the FUSE shared library (libfuse.so.2).
mount -t v2i is a command line utility for mounting a recovery point file on a Linux computer so you can restore files and folders.
Using the mount -t v2i command line utility involves specifying the image file name, the location where the recovery point will be mounted, and any desired options. You must use the -o flag when specifying options.
Use
umount command to unmount the.v2i file that is mounted using the mount -t v2i command.
OPTION
password=
If the recovery point is assigned a password, use this option to supply the password when mounting or unmounting the file.
If a password is not supplied for the password-protected recovery point, it prompts you for the password.
