Virtual Disk Mount API

To perform file based restore, you can use the disk mount API (vixMntapi) for local and remote mounting of virtual disks. VixMntapi involves a separate library for programs to load.

Note: As of VDDK 6.7.1, the VixMntapi library for Windows and Linux supports NBDSSL, HotAdd, and SAN transport. For earlier VDDK versions, and when used with earlier vSphere releases, the vixMntapi library for Linux supported only file and NBD transport.
