How to make the Axigen storage available for read (backup) and write (restore) operations as a part in a file-system of the machine Axigen is running on.
Solution
The virtual file system represents mounting a hierarchy as a file-system tree under a mount point and a mount scope. The mount point must be indicated as a path in the local file-system to an existing empty directory; the mount scope may be one of the following:
- a domain specified by name;
- an object in a domain, both specified by name;
- a folder in the mailbox in a public folder, account or mailing list in a domain; the domain and the account / mailing list must be specified by name and the folder must be specified by its absolute path withing the mailbox hierarchy;
1. Using the CLI interface
