With the Mount backups function, you can access HD data with read rights without requiring an ibaHD-Server license. This allows you to carry out offline analyses of HD data on a computer that does not have a dongle or soft license.

Take the following prerequisites and properties into consideration:

  • ibaHD-Server must be installed on the computer that you want to use to access the backup. A license is not required.

  • An HD store does not need to be configured for this ibaHD-Server.

  • No HD store with the same name must be active on the computer on which you want to mount the backup.

  • If the backup has been mounted to the ibaHD-Server using the ibaHD Manager, the backup can be accessed both locally and via the network with ibaAnalyzer. The backup on the ibaHD-Server appears in the HD query dialog as HD store with the original name of the store from which it was created.

  • The mounted backup can be considered as an HD store, but no data or signals can be added. HD queries can be carried out with ibaAnalyzer, just like with an active HD store.

  • The license counter for the number of configured HD stores in the ibaHD Manager is not increased.

  • Only one backup of an HD store can be mounted. Additional backups can be attached to a mounted backup.

  • Several backups can be mounted if they come from different HD stores.

The process of mounting is divided into two steps:

  • Setting the source

  • Validation
