# Local Backup Repository Settings

The **Select local disk** step of the wizard is available if you have selected to restore data from a backup file located on a computer drive.

In the list of devices, select the necessary disk or disk partition and press [Enter]. Veeam Agent will mount the selected device to the `/media` directory of the recovery image OS file system and display content of the directory.

::: tip

You can mount several devices to work with backup files that are stored in different locations if needed. To do this, return to the [Select Backup Location](baremetal_files_restore_locate.md) step of the wizard and select the **Mount local disk** option once again. For every mounted location, Veeam Agent displays its name, type and mount point. You can view the list of mounted devices and browse for a backup file located on the necessary storage.
