12.3 Restoring files with trueimagemnt
The trueimagemnt tool is designed to restore files from partition/disk images. It mounts
Acronis True Image archives as if they were kernel space block devices. The program
implements the user level part of the Acronis True Image Echo Server user mode block
device service. The large part of functionality is handled by the snumbd kernel module.
SYNOPSIS
trueimagemnt [-h|--help] [-l|--list] [-m|--mount mountpoint
] [-u|-
-umount mountpoint
] [-s|--stop pid] [-o|--loop] [-f|--filename
archive filename
] [-p|--password password] [-t|--fstype filesystem
type] [-i|--index partition index] [-w|--read-write] [-d|--
description archive description
] [-k|--keepdev]
12.3.1 Supported commands
Trueimagemnt supports the following commands:
-h|--help
Shows usage.
-l|--list
Lists already mounted user mode block devices.
-m|--mount mountpoint
Mounts the archive image specified by -f|--filename option into the folder specified
by mountpoint option. The partition index should be specified by -i|--index option.
Image file contents (partitions and their indices) may be listed by trueimagecmd --
list --filename:filename command.
To mount an incremental image, you must have all previous incremental images and the
initial full image. If any of successive images is missing, the mounting is impossible.
-u|--umount mountpoint
Unmounts the device mounted at mountpoint, destroys kernel space block device and
stops user space daemon.
-s|--stop pid
Destroys kernel space block device and stops user space daemon specified by pid. This
command should be used if an error occurs while mounting and unmounted user space
daemon/kernel space block device pair survives. Such a pair is listed by -l|--list
command with none in mountpoint field.
-o|--loop
A test command. Mounts a file, specified in -f|--filename option, containing valid
Linux filesystem, as if it is Acronis True Image archive. The command may be used, for
example, to estimate an image compression level, by comparing the time, necessary for
copying a file from the image, with the time for copying the mounted (non-compressed)
file.
Trueimagemnt supports the following command options:
-f|--filename archive filename
The image file name. trueimagemnt transparently supports NFS and Samba network
access. To access a NFS network drive, specify the image file name as follows:
nfs://hostname/share name:/remote filename
