About The Local Mount Utility

The Local Mount Utility (LMU) is a downloadable application that lets you mount a recovery point on a remote
AppAssure 5 Core from any machine. The light-weight utility includes the aavdisk and aavstor drivers, but it does
not run as a service. When you install the utility, by default, it is installed in the directory C:\Program Files\AppRecovery
\Local Mount Utility and a shortcut is displayed on the machine's desktop.
While the utility was designed for remote access to cores, you also can install LMU on an AppAssure 5 Core. When it
runs on a core, the application recognizes and displays all mounts from that core, including mounts performed through
the AppAssure 5 Core Console. Likewise, mounts performed on LMU is also displayed in the console.
