2. Use the acrocmd mount command, specifying the volume's name in the --volume parameter.
For example:
acrocmd mount --loc=\\server\backups --arc=linux_machine --mount_point=/mnt
--volume=DYN1
This command mounts the logical volume DYN1 on the mount point /mnt.
To unmount a backup volume

Use the acrocmd umount command, specifying the volume's mount point as a parameter. For
example:
acrocmd umount --mount_point=/mnt
3.7 Support for Advanced Format (4K-sector) hard disks
Acronis Backup can back up hard disks with a sector size of 4 KB (known as Advanced Format disks),
as well as traditional hard disks that have 512-byte sectors.
Acronis Backup can recover data from one disk to another as long as both disks have the same logical
sector size. (This is the sector size presented to the operating system.) Acronis Backup automatically
aligns the disk’s volumes (p. 104) if necessary. This way, the start of a cluster in the file system always
matches the start of a physical sector on the disk.
The disk management functionality of Acronis Backup is not available for disks with a 4-KB logical
sector size.
Determining the logical sector size
By disk specification
Development of the Advanced Format technology is coordinated by the International Disk Drive
Equipment and Materials Association (IDEMA). For more details, see
http://www.idema.org/?page_id=2.
In terms of the logical sector size, IDEMA specifies two types of Advanced Format disks:

512 Byte emulation (512e) disks have 512-byte logical sector size. These disks are supported in
Windows starting with Windows Vista, and in modern Linux distributions. Microsoft and Western
Digital use the term “Advanced Format” exclusively for this type of disk.
