1. Identify the list of backups for the specified drive:
ddfsadmin backup query -local -v=<Drive Letter:\>
NOTE: Make note of the SSID, DD_USERNAME, Storage Unit, DD_IP values
2. Mount a backup:
ddfsrc -h DFA_SI_DEVICE_PATH="Storage Unit Value" -h DFA_SI_DD_HOST=<DD_IP Value> -h DFA_SI_DD_USER=<DD_Username value> -S <SSID> -k mount
Example:
ddfsrc -h DFA_SI_DEVICE_PATH=/File_System-ppdm199-b06f5/PLCTLP-93d502c2-b5a2-4434-b69f-df7ef3e79808 -h DFA_SI_DD_HOST=192.168.2.172 -h DFA_SI_DD_USER=File_System-ppdm199-b06f5 -S 1684783059 -k mount
