Specifying Mount Points

A mount point is a path to a volume that may or may not have a drive letter. On the Backup window, mount point volumes appear in the following format, where <volume_name> represents the operating system assigned name:

mount_point[VOLUME{<volume_name>}] 

The following is an example mount point display:

D:\win[VOLUME{3C01567F-BA0E-11D8-92A2-0002A5911362}]

In order to restore the contents of the mount point to the mount point volume, you must specify the mount point as a restore destination. You can also restore the contents of the mount point volume to a directory on another volume. The backup of the drive on which the volume is mounted will indicate the mount point, but will not contain the mounted volume’s data.
