# Mounting Backup Storage

You can mount the following types of backup storage:

- Block device that represents a volume on a local disk or external drive on which the backup file resides.
- Network shared folder — NFS or SMB (CIFS).

## Mounting File System {#disk}

To mount a file system where the backup file resides, use the standard Orcale Solaris shell commands. For more information, see the Oracle documentation for your OS version.


## Mounting Network Shared Folder {#share}

Depending on the version of your Oracle Solaris OS and the file system type of the network shared folder — NFS or SMB (CIFS) — syntax for mounting a network folder may vary. For more information on using the `mount` command in your specific OS environment, see Oracle Solaris documentation.
