During recovery of a parent folder, the mount point content will or will not be recovered,

depending on whether the Mount points option for recovery (p. 129) is enabled or disabled.

 If you select the mount point directly, or select any folder within the mounted volume, the

selected folders will be considered as ordinary folders. They will be backed up regardless of the

state of the Mount points option and recovered regardless of the state of the Mount points

option for recovery (p. 129).

The preset is: Disabled.

Tip. You can back up Hyper-V virtual machines residing on a cluster shared volume by backing up the required

files or the entire volume with file-level backup. Just power off the virtual machines to be sure that they are

backed up in a consistent state.

Example

Let's assume that the C:\Data1\ folder is a mount point for the mounted volume. The volume

contains folders Folder1 and Folder2. You create a backup plan for file-level backup of your data.

If you select the check box for volume C and enable the Mount points option, the C:\Data1\ folder in

your backup will contain Folder1 and Folder2. When recovering the backed up data, be aware of

proper using the Mount points option for recovery (p. 129).

If you select the check box for volume C, and disable the Mount points option, the C:\Data1\ folder

in your backup will be empty.

If you select the check box for the Data1, Folder1 or Folder2 folder, the checked folders will be

included in the backup as ordinary folders, regardless of the state of the Mount points option.

4.6.15 Multi-volume snapshot

This option is effective only for Windows operating systems.

This option applies to disk-level backup. This option also applies to file-level backup when the file-

level backup is performed by taking a snapshot. (The File-level backup snapshot (p. 87) option

determines whether a snapshot will be taken during file-level backup).

The option determines whether to take snapshots of multiple volumes at the same time or one by

one.

The preset is: Enable.

When this option is set to Enable, snapshots of all volumes being backed up will be created

simultaneously. Use this option to create a time-consistent backup of data spanned across multiple

volumes, for instance for an Oracle database.

When this option is set to Disable, the volumes' snapshots will be taken one after the other. As a

result, if the data spans across several volumes, the resulting backup may be not consistent.

4.6.16 Notifications

Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 provides the ability of notifying users about backup completion

through e-mail or the messaging service.
