The Explore Volumes page mounts a volume backup as a new read only drive letter on the same machine or on a different machine. The backup volume can be browsed, just like any other drive, with Windows Explorer. Individual files or folders can be copied from mounted backup volumes to any other folder on your local machine you have write access to. Mounted volume backups remain available for browsing unless the computer is rebooted or the drive is unmounted by clicking the Unplug All button.
Note: The machine selected to explore the image must have access rights to Image Location. If you are mounting the image on Windows Vista, Server 2008, or later, you must disable UAC.
Click a machine ID to select a volume backup to mount. The list of machine IDs you can select depends on the machine ID / group ID filter and the scope you are using. To display on this page, machine IDs must have backup software installed on the managed machine using the Backup > Install/Remove page.

Mount
To explore a full or incremental/differential backup, click the radio button next to the date listed. Select the drives to include.

The screen automatically refreshes every 5 seconds and reports status of the mount until the mount procedure completes execution.
