Snapshot Mount
Mount any snapshot as a drive. Browse old files in Explorer without restoring a thing.
Don't want to restore file-by-file? Mount an entire snapshot as a drive and browse it in Explorer/Finder like a regular folder. Copy out exactly what you need.
WebDAV Mount (Windows)
On Windows, snapshots are mapped as a network drive via WebDAV. Browse directly in Explorer.
1
Select a backup source and snapshot
2
Click "Mount" — Ginkgo starts a local WebDAV server
3
Open the mount URL in Explorer, browse like a normal drive
Mount URL: http://127.0.0.1:<dynamic-port>/webdav/ (the port is auto-allocated by the system and visible on the mount panel; WebDAV sessions auto-expire after 30 minutes; you can remount)
FUSE Mount (Linux / macOS)
On Linux and macOS, snapshots are mounted via FUSE as a local directory. Use any file manager or terminal.
💡 Requires FUSE support. Linux/macOS builds use CGO_ENABLED=0 to include FUSE mount capability.
API-Triggered Mount
Mount and unmount snapshots programmatically via the HTTP API. Useful for automation scripts.
