Mounting a Snapshot via command-line interface

There are multiple ways to activate snapshots allowing read-only access. 

Our CLI provides daemon link modes to interface with your snapshot data. Each mode provides unique advantages depending on the use case. 

Launch an individual snapshot:

lucid --instance <id> daemon --fs <filespace.domain> --user <fsuser> --password <userpwd> --mount-point <mount-point> --snapshot <id>

Specify a mount-point relevant to your operating environment: Windows can be a drive letter or directory. macOS and Linux a mount-point such as within your home directory ~/snapshot

Mount all your snapshots:

lucid --instance <id> daemon --fs <filespace.domain> --user <fsuser> --password <userpwd> --mount-point <mount-point> --all-snapshots
