I’m having troubles figuring out what to use for the “path” when trying to use the mount command. I thought that this would be the path to my Kopia repository, plus the identifier number, but I can’t get it to work that way. I get the message “missing content ID”.

Can you provide an example for this? I running Kopia on Linux.

Thanks!

The easiest options is to mount all snapshots:

```auto
$ mkdir /mnt/something
$ kopia mount all /mnt/something

```

Alternatively list snapshots and mount a single one passing the ID of the directory:

```auto
$ kopia snapshot list
$ kopia mount kdc58abfc691f9b9a0faea03d0e8ef07c /mnt/something

```

Wow, you’re quick. 😄

That’s much easier than I thought it would be.

Thank you!
