Mount Image vs. Plug Image?

I just purchased TI Home Ver 9.0 (Build 2,323). The documentation refers to "mounting" and "unmounting" an image. I was, in fact, able to successfully mount and unmount an archive image with a trial version of TI before purchasing the full version.

The purchased version has the commands "Plug Image" and "Unplug Image" on the Operations menu. Does the term "Plug Image" refer to the same operation as "Mount Image" or is there a difference between "mounting an image" and "plugging an image"?

 

Same thing. For some reason they decided to change the terminology.

 

If you right click on an image file you get both Plug and Mount options

John,
I don't see that in build 3633. I have only the entry to Mount. Could that be a carry-over from having a previous version installed? Very strange indeed.

 

Only have Mount with build 3567 as well.

 

Using build 3633, also noticed this in the previous build.

I normally install over a current version so the situation could be a carry over.

On right clicking either Mount or Plug it takes me to the "Mount Image Wizard" in both cases.

John.

 

Hello Gbull,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

Please be aware that starting from build 3657 the embedded 'Plug Image' tool name was changed to 'Mount Image'. We recommend that you download and install the latest build (3633) of Acronis True Image 9.0 Home which is available in the Product Updates section of your account at Acronis web site. To get access to updates you should create an account then log in and use your serial number to register the software.

Please uninstall build 2323 by following Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Acronis True Image, prior to installing build 3633.

If there are still both 'Plug' and 'Mount' options when you right-click on the '.tib' file in Windows Explorer then please do as I have suggested in this previous post of mine.

The link supplied deals with two instances of Trueimage Explorer showing in the Device Manager, I only have the one entry. The situation shown in this thead deals with both "Plug" and "Mount" showing in the menu when right clicking on a image file.

Alexey, the fact that both plug and mount both show in the right context menu isn't a problem for me ( they both point to the "Mount Image Wizard" and I can mount a image without a problem. It could however, confuse some people.

For my own part I entend to delete Trueimage and reinstall when the next build is released
