# Step 3. Mount Restore Point

To mount a backup for file-level restore, use the following command:

```
veeamconfig point mount --id <point_id> [--mountdir <path>]
```

where:

- `<point_id>` — ID of the restore point that you want to mount to the machine file system for file-level restore.
- `<path>` — path to the directory to which you want to mount the backup file content. If you do not specify the path with the `--mountdir` option, Veeam Agent will mount the restore point to the `/mnt/backup` directory.

For example:

```
user@srv01:~$ veeamconfig point mount --id 530843a2-5b7d-4a12-9718-b8d9a66b6a70 --mountdir /mnt/backup
Restore point is mounted.
