5. Select whether you want to mount image in Read-only or Read/Write mode. 
6. If you select Read/Write mode, the program assumes that the connected image will 
be modified, and creates an incremental archive file to capture the changes. It is strongly 
recommended that you list the forthcoming changes in the comment to this file. 
7. The program displays a summary containing a single operation. Click Proceed to 
connect the selected partition image as a virtual disk. 
8. After the image is connected, the program will run Windows Explorer, showing its 
contents. Now you can operate with files or folders as if they were located on a physical 
disk. 
You can connect multiple partition images. If you want to connect another partition 
image, repeat the procedure.  
10.2.3  Unmounting an image 
We recommend that you unmount the virtual disk after all necessary operations are 
finished, as keeping up virtual disks takes considerable system resources. If you do not, 
the virtual disk will disappear after your server is turned off. 
To disconnect the virtual disk, click Unmount Image and select the disk to unmount. 
You can also unmount the disk in Windows Explorer by right-clicking on its icon and 
selecting Unmount.  
10.3  Consolidating backups 
The file name-based consolidation allows deleting the backups that you do not need any 
more from any archive while keeping the archive consistency.  
Acronis True Image Echo Server can perform this operation in standalone (rescue) mode 
as well as under Windows control. 
To consolidate backups in the archive: 
1. Start the Backup Consolidation Wizard by selecting Tools -> Consolidate 
archive
 in the main program menu.
